PlanetWheelShortcuts

If working on your PC is how you make a living, then you've already memorized a lot of keyboard shortcuts for the various programs and processes that are running on your PC. The problem is that memory is a fickle thing, and it can let you down, so new ways of keeping tabs on programs and process shortcuts can be required sometimes. One solution to this problem can be a software utility such as PlanetWheelShortcuts.

Down to its very basics, PlanetWheelShortcuts is nothing more than a program that binds other programs or their functions to a set of universally applied to a selection wheel. Whenever you press a certain combination of keys (of your choosing), a selection wheel will appear around the current location of your cursor, and all you need to do is move the mouse over the preferred option.

The main menu is where all of PlanetWheelShortcuts' magic truly happens. This is where you assign the commands to certain selection wheels, bind the wheels to certain hotkeys, modify the shortcuts themselves to be more distinguishable (such as their color), or even customize the selection wheel itself. One downside to the program that may be worth mentioning is that it has a rather dated UI, and so is the selection wheel that appears around the mouse, which may come into great contrast if you are using a modern-looking OS, such as Windows 7 or 10.

PlanetWheelShortcuts may not be much of a looker, but it allows you to quickly perform a wide variety of tasks by greatly reducing the time it takes for you to execute certain commands. This makes it a must-have, especially if working against a deadline on your PC is your job.
