Keyboard Extensions

There are a lot various applications you may need to launch when running the computer, some of which cannot be set to do so automatically. Luckily, Keyboard Extensions gives you the possibility to have a clean desktop and open up anything of interest by pressing a combination of buttons on your keyboard.

The application spends most of its time minimized in the system tray. Truth be told, once you fully customize all functions you don't really need to bring up the main window, unless you want to make minor adjustments.

You are able to navigate through a list of all installed applications and not only, because you also find anything that is not a folder located on your desktop. These elements can be run directly or added to a catalog to process later on.

A scheduler lets you set alarms for important events. A calendar gives you the possibility to easily select date, and you can specify an hour or even make it recurrent. You can set a file of any type to be launched when the timer reaches 0, and even display a message or play a specific audio file.

One of the most useful features is the “Hotkeys” option. Virtually anything on a computer can be set to run on a combination of buttons you carefully set and seeing how the keyboard is fitted with 100+, possibilities are plentiful.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Keyboard Extensions makes you forget about the mouse for a while. Once you fully configure it anything can be accessed in the blink of an eye. It's not the best looking application, but in terms of functionality it gets the job done well.
