Simple keyboard shortcuts executor for Microsoft Windows.
First, you have to create configuration file. Default is hotkey79.conf or you can create one with another name and run hotkey79.exe with first parameter path to this file.
Configuration file definition is simple. Every line started with # is a comment and is ignored. Every other line is one command definition. Structure is simple:
modifiers + key : command
Where modifiers can be Alt, Ctrl, Win or Shift, all connected with + char. Key is one character like a or r or some key like F11. You have to define both modifiers and key. And command is anything to run in Windows.
Example:
# run command line on Ctrl + Win + F12
Ctrl + Win + F12 : cmd.exe
After creating configation file, run hotkey79.exe. This utility has no icon at taskbar. If you want to exit this utility, you have to use some task manager and manually kill the hotkey79.exe process. You have to do this also if you want to reload configuration.
