Assign hotkeys to user-toolbar items

(1/2) > >>

mbaas:
I've waited with this suggestion for a few weeks, wanting to see if I would still find it valid...and I do :-)

I would find it very useful if it was possible to assign shortcuts to the items on the user-toolbar- would help to make it even more kbd-friendly ;-)

Honestly, I don't see the benefit in that. If you have farr toolbar items in farr just to launch stuff, you would have to launch farr (lets say alt-space) and then hit another short cut to launch a toolbar program - ctrl+shift+1 or whatever. That's two shortcuts instead of one :)

I would rather create an autohotkey script that would just launch stuff with a hotkey...

wjamoe:
there is a prehistoric way of doing this ;-)
use '&' just before a character in the title of the item

e.g. &mail as title for the item
it will appeas as mail

Then you can use Alt-m to open the mail item

or m&ail if you want Alt-a to open the item

this does not work for menu items with an icon

Well, here's some benefit:

* don't want to install AH. Been there, done that - generally want to limit the # of tools I'm using
* You are right, that would be two keystrokes to launch the "top favs" on the toolbar. Still that's more convenient than a alt-space and then having to move hand over to the mouse and do a mouseclick, and it is less keystrokes than alt-space and a few keystrokes to find the tool and another one to launch it  8)

Thanks, but I'm linking to exe's that have an icon, so won't be able to use this trick :(
