PS Hot Launch VVL - another convenient launcher

Once upon a time, when the planet was conquered by Windows 95/98 and keyboards with corresponding keys, I decided to use the Win key to the benefit of the case (and not pick it out with a screwdriver so that it would not interfere, as I did before). Then I found a solution in the form of a simple but convenient Winkey (unfortunately, the manufacturer is not going to support this program anymore ). And I lived well and happily until I came across the PS Hot Launch VVL program , which shamelessly replaced WinKey from my computer.

Why is she so good?

• Well, firstly, the program allows, like Winkey, to assign hot keys for various applications using the Win key, which is already a lot.
• Secondly, the program can work as a regular launcher, which can be called from the tray by clicking on the icon and using the usual hierarchical list.
• But what really bribed me was the third: the program allows you to assign hot keys to your groups, if you press the "magic buttons" right below the mouse cursor a menu appears with options and you can, by making an economical mouse movement, start all that we so diligently packed into this group. By the way, the same rules work in the drop-down menu as for the standard menu, i.e. underlined accelerator letters are present, and it’s easy to get to the program you need without even touching the mouse.

The program is not without its drawbacks. For example, it stores all the information about the settings in the registry (although two batch files are included for saving and restoring, as in FAR), there is no way to drag in a folder with the entire hierarchy, you have to add items one at a time.

I tried a few more launchers, but only PS Hot Launch VVL and Launchy got along on my computer .
