It is difficult to remember the different key combinations when using shortcuts. Using hotkeys, just hold down the Windows key for a few seconds and you will get an on screen keyboard which contains icons on the keys that are configured. To create a new shortcut, you can just drag and drop the icons to the particular key which you want to configure. Now to use that shortcut, just press [Windows] + [Key]. The on screen keyboard also reminds you of all the hotkeys combinations which you have configured. There are also several keyboard layouts to choose from and you can also create your custom layout which you want to use.

It also acts in a smart way when launching applications and opening documents. For example if you try to open a wordpad document using the combination when an instance of wordpad is already open, the existing instance will brought to front. But this action can be overruled by using the alt key along with your combination. When you use the alt key, a new instance will always be launched. There are several tools which can be configured to be used with the keys. The clock tool will display a neat clock on pressing the key combination. The Zip tool can be used to create a zip file by the use of a single key press. Just select the files which you want to zip, press the combination and it will create a zip file. The screen shot tool will take screen shots by the use of simple combination. A tool designer is also provided so that you can also create your own tool by using some creativity.

It is a great tool which will increase your productivity in your day to day work. It is also easy to use and install and doesn’t take much system resources. The virtual keyboard is also designed nicely and looks well. Just use it and share your experience with me.
