At the moment I have Ctrl+ Spacebar as the activation hotkey to bring it up, then I just type Q and it will active the script on the tab that was last opened, in this case tab 1 (you can rename the tabs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>if you want to ycle forward through tabs then you need to use Ctrl + Tab and it jumps between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To minimise the pop-up just press off the p;op-up window or use the Ctrl+ Space hotkey again and it will minimise on the taskbar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"MaxLauncher [Introduction]\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o2YpZIzPY4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So you always need to activate first, then decide on the single key that you want or Ctrl+tab to cycle through different tabs to navigate to the different key that you want to activate. Or press the number of the tab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My initial interest and its appeal was the single keystroke instead of double or more keys or 2 key presses with modifier keys eg ctrl+1, also in Revit you need 2 key taps to run a command, but in the end you still needed to pop up the program so it&#8217;s the same as 2 keystrokes at least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also the different tabs can be for different projects\/activities\/ coding processes (eg Web &amp; html\/AHK\/Python\/SQL etc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has a nice search function as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issues with install &amp; setup <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first installed it somehow I lost the ribbon at the top with the File\/view\/Data\/Tools\/Settings\/Help buttons and tried to uninstall manually and reinstall. i had to do it a few times (I didn&#8217;t use the uninstall with the program (I wonder why not? ) and I had to clear it out from a few places on the PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally did it, not only files in C:\\program files &amp; Documents but also C:\\user\\AppData\\roaming and only after deleting the last was I able to reinstall with the top menu items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was late when doing that and I was being bloody minded, but overall  I think its an OK program and program launcher, I like the simple and logical display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives to MaxLauncher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While looking up MaxLauncher on YouTube I came across this video showing 25 alternatives to it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-RwitYtgTwQ\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-RwitYtgTwQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One that seems to work in the same way is <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/alternativeto.net\/software\/madapplauncher\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">MadAppLauncher<\/a><\/strong> that also works on a pop-up with keyboard interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of other launchers out there if you look on<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/alternativeto.net\/software\/maxlauncher\/\" target=\"_blank\"> AlternativeTo<\/a><\/strong> , I think about 45 different ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End comment 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I must admit app\/file launchers have made my life a lot easier. I find I can move around my PC with a lot more ease with all the shortcuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I may start using this as an alternative to AHK Command picker, as I can just put a link to the script on a key easily instead of going in and editing the file for AHK Command picker, also it means I can have v1 &amp; v2 scripts all located in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll need to play with it and do a viseo on it too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End Comment 2 Epiphany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I just realised, this is like the stream deck but without bells and whistles. I&#8217;m as T&#8217;ick As for not realising when I first looked at it. You can&#8217;t assign hotkeys to a key so you&#8217;ll have to assign a .bat file or cut a ahk script down to just one funcxtion to align it with a key, but otherwise its great. Plus visual image reference which is good on Stream Deck .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also drag\/drop a shortcut onto a key, so that is great for the .bat &amp;.ahk scripts, keep the shortcut but update the scripts in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trying to get Hotkeys to work in MaxLauncher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been breaking down a few scripts to be able to assign them to individual keys.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example is opening AutoCorrect.ahk to notepad++ so that I can quickly add a new Hotstring to speed up my typing, eg ::pac::Pak&#8217;n&#8217;Save for doing my tax as I use the shop a lot for bills. Now I can quickly open it and edit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUT!!!!! To reload the script there is a Hotkey, say F12 or ^F12 (Control+F12) to activate this. I&#8217;ve been trying to write simple scripts that will send these keystrokes to the PC, as if I were typing them &amp; they don&#8217;t work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On some hotkeys that I put into a script to call they add a Shift key also , on one instance I was getting Explorer popping up , but when I go to incorporate that into the script it doesn&#8217;t actually activate the hotkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been testing it out with a number of variancves for hotstrings, trying to get the text expander to work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>;Sendinput \"tmz{Space}\"\n;Sendinput \"{raw}tmz \"\n\n; MyText := FileRead(\"1.txt\")\n; \tsleep 500\n; A_Clipboard := MyText\n\t; \t\tSend \"^v\"\n\nSendinput \"{raw}t\"\nsleep 10\nSendinput \"{raw}m\"\nsleep 10\nSendinput \"{raw}z\"\nsleep 10\nSendinput \"{raw} \"\n;Sendinput \"{raw} \"\n\n; Sendinput \"t\"\n; Sendinput \"m\"\n; Sendinput \"z\"\n;Sendinput \"{raw}tmz \"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying lots of ways to send keystrokes to a editor to see if they will activate the hotstring, but to date, no success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I can easily access scripts but I can&#8217;t put a hotkey on a button to Reload the script so far. I thought a .bat file might work but that sends text to the command console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went down a rabbit hole on this one trying to see how I could send the hotkey via the keyboard and was looking at .js and .ba files and .bat files, all very complicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; Use the program but add an argument for the hotkey for RESTART or ExitApp and it works great<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" data-src=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-1024x592.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7379 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-1024x592.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-50x29.jpg 50w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-86x50.jpg 86w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-100x58.jpg 100w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-173x100.jpg 173w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-1106x640.jpg 1106w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-640x370.jpg 640w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_-1328x768.jpg 1328w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-11-18_52_47-MaxLauncher-C__Users_drake_Documents_MaxLauncher_Main.mld_.jpg 1471w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
