Launchy 2.1.1 - Keystroke Launcher

Launchy 2.1.1 (Windows, Open Source, 3.9MB) [via sourceforge] is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.

Also available for Linux.

Changes:

  • Added Linux support! (KDE and Gnome both work, possibly others)
  • Added Google Calculator plugin (gcalc)
  • Added configurable default search to weby (all searches with no results default to google)
  • “/” and “\” now tab complete while file browsing
  • Added rescue mode to recover lost windows or forgotten hotkeys (in Linux run “launchy rescue” or use the start menu in windows)
  • Minimum transparency set to 15%
  • Searches are even faster and the catalog uses slightly less memory
  • Bug Fixes:
      o 2.11 fixes an upgrade check bug found in 2.1
      o Fixed the database update timer
      o Fixed centering problem when multiple monitors in use
      o Fixed the url encoding problem, e.g. googling for “c#” now works
