I’ve just spend a few hours trying to figure out a hotkey script to send emails at a touch of a MaxLauncher key to Thunderbird. My initial objective is to have a DEFAULT sender address, a set TO email ( I can have multiple buttons for different addressee’s if they are common or just a

I find articles/websites that I want to follow up on later and the method I’ve been using is to use the email button in the menu bar. This triggers my email Thunderbird and I then have to fill in To: Sender with my email address and then send the email. Step 1. Using bookmarklet to

I’ve a few bookmarklets that I think are great, but I don’t use as frequently as I would like to because I forget they are there to be used. A bit of an issue with me, I find interesting things but forget to use them sufficiently to get the most out of them. So they

I’ve been battling to get MaxLauncher buttons that run hotkeys. MaxLauncher is a program launcher that pops up on the screen and I looks like a keyboard. You can assign a file or folder to a key on the virtual keyboard. So if you want to send a hotkey, say Ctrl+W to a program, say

In the first part of creating a link list of files for accessing I had a Proof of Concept that used AHK script to capture the information to a file and Excel to display and create hyperlinks. I’d commented that there didn’t seem to be similar programs that did this sort of thing and then

I use Github to store some of my code. I also make a lot of it public to share. I suddenly realised that I was copying my hotkey script across to github and that script contained some of my general passwords that I used for some of the general web stuff I visit. OOPS!!!! So
