Find And Run Robot / always show plugin results

« on: March 07, 2012, 04:09 PM »

i'm looking for a way to have farr always show the results of FARRAltTab. this way i could do away with the task bar completely (except for the rarely used systray).
FARRAltTab is a nice enough switcher, but the convenience of invoking farr and just click on a running program would be great, typing in tab adds another hurdle. i've already given my favourite programs a huge boost in score so i already have a basic launch pad for my programs, but i'm missing a way to quickly switch tasks. i've bound farr to a hotkey on my mouse, and if i could automatically display the results of FARRAltTab, i'd have everything within easy reach.
is there any way for farr to automatically display the results of a plugin without having to type in the keyword first?

Find And Run Robot / FARR and history

« on: November 13, 2010, 06:55 PM »

could be that i'm just very very stupid, but i can't find of a way to make farr show a list of (designated) favourite apps rather than history.
is there a way this could be done?

basically what i'm looking for is a way to combine the qualities of farr with some of the utility of say circle dock, having a set list that doesn't change no matter what i use, until i insert something in the input field.
i know there's a toolbar in farr, but it seems to only allow textual links, not icons, and i can't resize it to say 32x32. it also takes up space in the same line as input, so putting say 5 apps/folders there makes the rest of farr pretty much unusable.
i've thought about binding circle dock and farr to the same hotkey, but figured that just wouldn't be practical.

General Software Discussion / automatically sort taskbar

« on: August 15, 2010, 07:27 PM »

does anyone know of an app that sorts the windows (7) taskbar?
right now i've the bar positioned left, with a few pinned programs, set to never combine.
what i'd like to have, is a way to automatically put all the running(pinned/nonpinned) apps above (or below) the pinned apps that aren't running.
i've been looking around, but unfortunately i can't find something like this anywhere. is there a program for something like this? or would it  be possible to write an ahk for it?
if so, any tips for a guy who's done nothing but make some console running calculators in c++?
this sorting would do away with the need of a separate quicklaunch for important apps, which is rather an eyesore, and doesn't always show all icons (due to being positioned below the running/pinned apps, but not fluctuating based on the amount of systray icons).
