JDN Hotkeys

When you work on your PC, how would you like to do most things instantly?

JDN Hotkeys is a freeware hotkey manager for Windows. This program also includes a set of demos that will show you some wonderful ways you can use hotkeys.

Hotkeys are an excellent way for you to save time and energy. They save time by automating repetitive sequences and they save energy by reducing the drudgery of repetitive typing. In fact, using hotkeys may be the one of the best things you can do for your computer experience.

Unfortunately, hotkeys are also one of the most under-rated and under-used of all Windows features. One reason may be some problems people have had using hotkeys managed by the Windows Explorer. But there is no longer any reason to avoid hotkeys. Independent hotkey managers - like JDN Hotkeys - eliminate those problems.

A hotkey is a single key combination, like "Alt Ctrl W" that performs some function (like opening your word processor or typing a word, name or phrase). You can use the same hotkey no matter what you are doing because hotkeys are independent of the foreground window. That is one of their greatest advantages.

Here are some key features of "JDN Hotkeys":

￭ Hotkey definition files are created and edited as plain text files. That is the fastest and easiest way to manage them ￭ Any hotkey combination may be defined (up to 1,520 combinations for each definition file). ￭ There is no limit to the number of hotkey definition files. ￭ Hotkeys can send plain text or extended text. ￭ Hotkeys can manipulate windows and implement custom cycle lists. ￭ Hotkeys can execute a sequence of other hotkeys - each of which can, in turn, execute other sequences. ￭ Hotkeys can create or modify other hotkeys - either statically (design time) or dynamically (run time). ￭ Hotkeys can load, merge or save entire files of hotkey definitions. ￭ Hotkeys can give you "one touch" access to your applications and window manipulations. ￭ Hotkeys can open a data window to accept input from the user and then either send that text to an application or incorporate it into other hotkey definitions. ￭ Modifier keys do not have to be lifted before hotkeys are sent. This enables use of the typematic feature. ￭ Selected hotkeys may be run automatically on startup.
