Sometimes you get tired of the way your OS' UI looks like and decided to try something new, different, and potentially more effcient. Enso Launcher is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you work with several built-in commands for accessing your favorite programs, minimizing or maximizing windows, performing searches on Google, and carrying out many other file management operations.

This unobtrusive tool runs quietly in the system tray and can be called upon by pressing the “Caps Lock” button from your keyboard. In order to activate the command that you want to execute you need to keep the key pressed while typing the command name. For example, when you type “Open” the tool automatically displays a dedicated window where you can type in the name of the utility that you are looking for. It also reveals possible matching results while you are typing. In order to cancel a command, you need to hit the “Esc” button.

Enso Launcher offers support for a wide range of commands that are meant to ease your operations on the computer, as you can activate the “Calculate” function for performing math calculations, turn the “Caps Lock” feature on or off, carry out basic editing tasks (copy, cut, go), and type words which are automatically redirected on Google. What’s more, you can maximize or minimize tabs, quit the active program, switch to a window by typing its name, close the front utility, and others.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to keep the command window open until you press the “Enter” key (activate the Sticky mode), as well as customize the entry key, as Caps Lock is set by default. During our testing we have noticed that Enso Launcher carries out a task very quickly. It is quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

All things considered, Enso Launcher offers a handy set of parameters for helping you run certain commands with ease. If you can get accustomed with typing a command while pressing a certain key, you can give this intuitive tool a try to see that it can do for you.
