Create customized keyboard shortcuts for anything

If you don’t like the standard Windows keyboard shortcuts, move a step ahead and create your own with HotKeyMan.

This simple tool enables you to create personalized shortcuts by combining the Windows, Alt, Ctrl and Shift keys with any other characters in your keyboard and then assigning this combination to a variety of functions. These may include opening files (documents or applications), taking screenshots, sending keystrokes to any given program and maximizing or minimizing windows.

HotKeyMan already includes lots of default shortcuts you can keep, delete or edit at will. You can add as many new combinations as you want, always making sure they don’t ovewrite other previously existent shortcuts – something the program doesn’t warn you about.

The only problem will then be remembering them all, though you can always take a look at the crib sheet you can open from the program’s icon in the system tray.

If you’re more of a keyboard user than a mouse one you’re going to like HotKeyMan: a program that lets you assign keyboard shortcuts to almost anything in Windows.
