ProgramLauncher

A program that you start with an argument, that asks you which program you want to use, like Androids "Just Once". You can also register it with the HTTP protocol, so you can use it to open links in a browser

programlauncher's Issues

"&" Characters in labels

Currently if you open a link containing an & symbol, it will simply not be displayed, e.g. http://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=ampersand will be displayed as http://google.com/search?tbm=ischq=ampersand.

This is because buttons and menu items use the ampersand symbol to assign Alt+ codes, e.g. a button with the text set to Click &Me will show Click Me, and pressing Alt+M will "press" it.

I have no idea how to fix this, as far as I know there isn't an option to disable it. Doubling the ampersands could possibly work.

Copy option

Feature request (from me lol), I've wanted to copy a passed string, not from opening via command line (because I'd have already have copied it to do that) but by double-clicking on a file (PropertiesDotNet has that) or, mostly, opening a link with it.

There are three ways I cauld do this:

• Add a Copy button, this is easy to do, however adds clutter and there'd have to be yet another button to be able to Copy & Exit.
• Add a custom entry that is detected to copy to clipboard, this might be harder although it's probably a case of If FocusedItem = fullArgument. This would need some indication to the user that it exists, but is less clutter and allows to be able to copy and close the program easily.
• Start a new project that copies anything passed to it.
