The program has not been updated in a while though and seems abandoned. Update: Launchy is compatible with all recent versions of the Windows operating system. Shift-Ctrl-Enter - launches the selected element with elevated rights.We have already mentioned Shift-Space to bring to toggle the interface but there are more: Launchy supports a variety of keyboard shortcuts that you may find useful. Best of all? You can add your own search queries to Launchy with ease. So if for example you want to name your runner command 'ever' (for everything) you have to rename or remove the search everything application entry in windows start menu. Your default browser opens showing the search results for that query. If your Launchy runner command is similar named to any applications name in Windows's start menu then Launchy will randomly either call the start menu's app or the runner-command. Type Google, hit TAB and enter your search string plus return at the end. A Google search for instance would have the following commands. Launchy can open bookmarks in your favorite browser and supports shortcuts to search on Google and other websites. I prefer the old fashioned keyboard shortcut whenever I need Launchy but some users may prefer the always on top mode especially if they use Launchy a lot throughout the day. Additional plugins and skins are available on the official project website. Skins change the design of the interface and plugins add new functionality to the program. The app ships with six skins and a number of plugins. Launchy's settings list extensive customization options.
