Open-Source Keystroke Launcher

About

Launchy is a free cross-platform utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

Further information can be found in the readmes directory.

This Release

The original author has abandoned this project. As such several bugs critical to the use of Launchy have gone unfixed. The user community on Github has patched several of these, but none have hit them all. This repository hits the ones I cared about!

• Config files being placed in your homedir (e.g., ~/launchy.ini).
• Desktop files with double-quotes not launching properly.
• Desktop files with multiple sections not indexing at all.
