Register Hot Key

If you are using a computer daily, then chances are that you might agree with the fact that hotkeys, or keyboard shortcuts, as they're called, can significantly improve your overall productivity.

The same can be said about application shortcuts, as they allow you to launch specific software directly from your computer's desktop, taskbar or even Start menu.

With this in mind, probably the fastest way to launch applications is with the help of keyboard shortcuts, and this is exactly where Register Hot Key comes in handy.

In just a few words, Register Hot Key is a lightweight piece of software that allows you to assign system-level keyboard shortcuts for certain files or apps, providing you with a convenient and swift way of launching them.

The utility can be deployed on your computer's system in mere seconds since it undergoes a surprise-free and quick installation process. Before you launch the application, please keep in mind that it may require full administrator rights in order to work as intended.

Just be glancing at its stripped-down and, as a result, quite intuitive user interface, you can tell that this application is all about efficiency.

Just type in the hotkey, assign it an application or any other type of file from the File Path section and click the 'Add' button, from the middle part of the main window, and that's about it. All the hotkey shortcuts will be stored in and can be managed from the lower section of Register Hot Key's compact main window.

Granted, the application is not what you would call feature-packed and, yes, we agree, that even though in theory it is more than capable of handling large numbers of hotkey shortcuts, a feature for better organizing entries would have been quite useful.

Nevertheless, with its simplistic workflow and almost bare-bones UI, Register Hot Key is an efficient and useful app that does its job as intended. Considering everything that's been said, it is quite clear that this app is mostly recommended for unpretentious users who don't need to use more than a few keyboard shortcuts.
