SlickRun

What SlickRun is

SlickRun is a free floating command-line utility for Windows that opens programs, websites, and other actions from typed commands. You create MagicWords, such as MAIL, and assign them to applications or tasks. Entering a web address opens that address in a browser. SlickRun can start several programs with a few keystrokes, look up a definition, and provide a place to jot notes. Its autocomplete is intended to limit typing to roughly two or three characters, while its design uses memorable words instead of arbitrary keyboard shortcuts. JOT collects text dropped from almost any program, saves it automatically, and supports incremental search. Built-in commands include ADD, CORNER, HELP, HIDE, JOT, QUIT, SAVEPOS, and SETUP. MagicWord packs can be imported and exported, although a shared shortcut may fail when its target program is unavailable or installed elsewhere. SlickRun supports listed Windows versions from XP through 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit forms, can run from a flash drive, and stores data locally.
