Runs an external program, opens a folder or web page.


Usage

Specify file, application, folder or website path(s). Path can be any valid path in Windows. Press the Open button to select the file with the file dialog.


Example:

C:\Program Files\FastKeys\FastKeys.exe


Example of a valid folder path:

C:\Program Files


Example of a website address:

https://www.fastkeysautomation.com/


You can also run external Autohotkey script files (.ahk). There are many ready-to-use scripts available by the large Autohotkey Community. Example:

C:\Program Files\FastKeys\Scripts\Advanced Calculator.ahk


You can specify several paths, each on a new line, to be opened at the same time. Select More/View/Insert mode menu to select Insert or Overwrite mode. The following command will run several applications and folders at the same time.

calc
D:\MyFolder
C:\Program Files\FastKeys\FastKeys.exe


You can trigger multiple commands which can be selected from the popup window. Use a delimiter as a first character in a new line to divide multiple command actions. Default delimiter is "/" which can be changed in Preferences > Text Expander. The popup window will appear next to the cursor to allow selection of the desired command. This way you can use FastKeys as a handy launcher.

calc
/C:\Program Files\FastKeys\FastKeys.exe
/D:\MyFolder


To improve visibility, add a description prefix to multiple selections. In this case only description will appear on a popup window. The default description separator is "::" and can be changed in Preferences > Text Expander.

Firefox:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe
/MyFolder:: D:\MyFolder
/FastKeys webpage:: http://www.fastkeysautomation.com/
