Who doesn't love completing tasks in optimum time? If you are an avid PC user, using shortcuts can greatly ease navigation and complete tasks faster. But the most common problem while using shortcuts is the hassle of remembering all of them.
With Qliner Hotkeys, this problem can be easily solved; it provides a visual keyboard that gives you access to all the keyboard shortcuts you assigned to a particular application. It is a snap to use - just drag and drop applications to any key in the keyboard displayed or right-click a key and select the program to run and you
are done; pressing the Windows key and the particular key you associated with the application will open that program. Pressing the Windows key + Z together (you can change this) will allow you to tweak the settings.



Not only for opening applications, you can set shortcut keys for other Windows actions too. Another effective way for quickly opening applications is using program launchers which are available by the dozen. Launchy is a very popular launcher but I like the impressive Executor because it has lots of advanced features and customization options. FARR (Find and Run Robot) is another innovative launcher which also comes with an advanced features set and hundreds of plug-ins for extending its features . You can even use your mouse for quickly opening applications by using mouse gestures; gMote is a tiny app that lets you do just that. You can associate a gesture with a particular application in the Configuration window by clicking on Create gesture. Find all these apps free in the Utilities section.
