• Executor

  Executor helps you quickly launch programs and internet searches, manage clipboard and running apps, and provides a calculator, customizable file path autocomplete and browsable history. JaJe92 adds, "Best file indexer I am still using… use a combo of key, quickly type partial name of a software/file/folder, press enter and you're in.". Source: 11 months ago

• Should I be using venv in native Windows 11 or venv in WSL for projects?

  I use it regularly after I finish a session or am about to install something notable and want to preserve my work up to then. I use a hot key manager called Executor. Make sure you install it from the developer's website. Source: 12 months ago

• What computer feature don't most people know about?

  Download a hotkey manager and you can setup hotkeys to do various things. It's much easier to keep track of them than trying to do it with shortcut properties. I use Executor.. Source: about 1 year ago

• Should I be creating a WSL "install" for each project?

  To manage hotkeys, I use this app https://executor.dk. Source: about 1 year ago

• Only recently found this out: the reason windows file search is so slow is because searching file contents is enable by default. Disabling it (to search file names only) is so much faster

  You accidentally made the link point to executor.tk instead of executor.dk Looks interesting. I may check it out, and compare it to Everything. Source: over 1 year ago

  Spotlight-esque apps for enhanced keyboard driven productivity (pick one): Raycast Alfred Quicksilver. Source: about 1 year ago

• Resolving the Great Undo-Redo Quandary

  For a browsable clipboard history on macOS, I recommend LaunchBar (https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/; docs at https://www.obdev.at/resources/launchbar/help/ClipboardHistory.html). I used to use the Clipboard Plugin of the free and open source app Quicksilver (https://qsapp.com/), which worked fine but was slightly less streamlined. Some people prefer Alfred (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Shortcat – Manipulate macOS masterfully, minus the mouse

  This is great. Reminds me of QuickSilver[1]. I'm evaluating HomeRow[2] for a VIM driving the Mac OS, will try this as well. I love how: a. Accessibility features are making the OS more accessible for everyone through automation b. Good the accessibility implementation is on the Mac that most applications are inherently compatible with solutions like this.
