Awesome launcher application! Every PC should install it!
I need a quick way to launch putty, ssh, sftp and all the other command line utilities in my windows laptop, launchy provide this functionality at the press of a key, very easy to configure and use. Love it, now I hardy use the start menu.
My keystroke launcher of choice...On Windows anyway. although the feature list is in need of an update; other applications are starting to catch my eye!
It's like a slim, lightweight windows version of quicksilver. The only beef I have is that it is not as feature-rich as quicksilver in the plugins/actions department. Still quite good.
Awesome. I go crazy when I get on a computer that doesn't have it ha. Hitting Alt+Space over and over wondering why it's not popping up. Launchy is just second nature to me now. Can't live without this.
Its great! All can be easily accessed and have the same performance on windows and linux. I wish all applications running on both systems has this quality!
Perfect tool for keeping the desktop clean
The fastest quicksilver replacement for windows ... and now linux, though I use Gnome DO on Linux
Excellent program. Once you get used to it, you cannot imagine life without it.
My No 1 programme launcing tool.
Wish it liked my XP x64 machine better. Love it on my Mini 9. Everything's just a couple keystrokes away.
great tool
Hotkey + some letters = program launching, as easy as it can be
One of the basics in my PC, it helps to keep my desk clean :)
The damned thing just works.
