8 Best Powerful Tools To Customize your Windows 10

Windows 10 Customization : Desktop is something we often encounter with especially if you use PC for work or on a daily basis. Although the Windows 10 has an amazing and different layout and display, it does become quite boring after some time of use.

Customizing Windows screen is a great option to cope up with the boredom. Considering this, we have mentioned for you all the best Customization…

Panther Launcher is a great tool - a fork of elementary’s application menu, we took this simple, functional menu and integrated it into Xfce panel. 

But we thought it was about time for a little change…

Say hello to Launchy, still the same application underneath as both of its predecessors, but just visually a little different and with more minimal features to make it orientated around running low on resources and keeping to the simple task of searching for and launching applications

A power user’s guide to Launchy:- We included the Launchy in the Top 4 Windows Software’s you shouldn’t be living without. Read about them here: Top 4 Windows Software’s you shouldn’t be living without This is a power user’s guide to this open source keystroke launcher. 1. Get the beta release:- The “beta” might sound like unfinished, this is not the case with Launchy. The latest release 2.6 beta…

Thanks for writing this up – it’s a great starting point for casual users or mouse lovers who are just getting started with keyboard navigation. I would also like to recommend a third option for the power users out there: Enso. Having used all three of these over the years (along with FARR and a bunch of other launchers), here is where I would rank them in terms of power and flexibility:

Windows Start Menu: [=====]

Launchy: [========]

Enso: [================]

To give you a taste of what you can do with Enso, I’ll demonstrate a typical scenario: Press Caps Lock to bring up the Enso terminal (it adheres to many of Jef Raskin’s humane interface design rules), type “define grok” and press Enter (you’ll usually only need to type “degrok” since it autocompletes). Within a blink of an eye, you’ll get a definition returned in an overlay. No need to waste time and memory opening a new tab and going to a web page, or even worse, launching a new browser instance if you don’t already have a browser opened.

The beauty of all this, and therein lies the infinite power, is that you don’t need to rely on plugins to do any of this – you do it all yourself. Take the ‘define’ command for instance – it uses the curl library to scrape data from the internet and output it to the overlay. Not a fan of curl? You can use any Python module you want! Basically, Enso can act as your personal Jarvis culling data from the vast world wide web without ever needing to open a browser. Think of all the possibilities: “convert 100 usd to sgd”, “translate 'hello’ to french”, “showtimes today”, etc. etc…. only limited by your imagination. Enso also gives you access to the Win32 API to do Windows stuff like AutoHotkey-level automations, e.g.:

# "next track" command hWinamp = win32gui.FindWindow('Winamp', None) win32api.SendMessage(hWinamp, WM_COMMAND, 40048, 0)

Remember, this is in addition to everything that you can do with Launchy, and in most cases you’ll never have to type out the full command since, like Launchy, it learns from you over time. If you like Intellisense or tab-autocompletion in Linux, then you’ll love Enso (it really is like a system-wide Intellisense). The only down side is that you’ll need to know your way around Python a bit, but even if you don’t, it’s so worth it to invest the time into learning Python. Seriously, learn Python – it’s like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, except the world is computer utopia instead of some bizarre shiite.

Fantastic comments 10basetom, thanks for adding them and for mentioning Enso. My goal with this article is both to get more people exposed to the productivity benefits of keyboard launchers, and also to show some customization examples for those who want to dive a little deeper. I find that people seem to fall into two camps: those that wonder why we even bother with these types of tools, and people like you that have taken the time not only to learn to use them, but to configure them to do amazing things. Thanks for sharing your experience with Enso relative to Launchy, I'm sure a lot of readers who want a really powerful tool will check it out. Personally, I find that Launchy hits the sweet spot between "works great out of the box" and "can be made to do almost anything". What other PC productivity tools do you use every day?

A hidden gem that's always in my tray is Clibor. It's like a clipboard manager on steroids. The interface is a little "out there", but once you get over that it can become an indispensable tool. The clipboard management part is almost as good as my old favorite, ClipX, but it's got a killer feature ClipX can't touch: the ability to manipulate text in the buffer before pasting it. Clibor has saved me many a times when I lost work only to see that it was still in one of the buffers; now I make it a habit to Ctrl+C everything I write just to have it backed up in Clibor.

Another tool that I rely on almost every day is ResophNotes. This is a tiny note taking app that syncs to the cloud via the Simplenote service. Now no matter what PC or mobile device I'm using, I have access to all my text notes. My only complaints with ResophNotes are (1) you can't organize your notes into subcategories like a tree outliner, and (2) the search functionality is limited (e.g., you're forced to do a global search and can't do a Ctrl+F to search only within the current note).

Add even more flexibility to your Android home screen with Launchy Widget

I use two things frequently throughout my day at work (on Windows 7): Launchy and Evernote. I have a notebook stack containing a half dozen or so notebooks for my work stuff. How to's, reference, training material, templates and the one I use most often, my Support Ticket Log. Any requests I get for contract stuff gets a note created in this notebook (from a template tweaked with ENML) that I use to track the details for each request.

I know (from experience) that the launchers on OS X are more capable than Launchy; tools like Quicksilver, LaunchBar or Alfred can be really powerful and people have done a lot in integrating Evernote into their launcher workflow. Since I spend 8 hours a day in front of Window 7 and not my MacBook Pro I wanted to figure out some way to streamline and improve my Evernote workflow with Launchy.

Thanks to ENScript (and some Google searches) I found I could integrate/automate some things with Launchy. So, for example, opening Launchy (Alt+Space) and typing "stl" and pressing enter will bring up Evernote and open my Support Ticket Log notebook. If I want to see the items in my support log that are waiting for other info I bring up Launchy again and type "stlwf", Evernote opens to my Support Ticket Log and searches it for notes containing "wf" (my shorthand for waiting for). I can search my support log with "sstl" then pressing Tab and entering my search criteria, then pressing enter. Again, it opens up my Support Ticket Log notebook and searches it for the text I indicated in Launchy. I also have one that searches all of Evernote the same way, "sever". What I like about this is I can be in any app anywhere on one of my three screens and I know that I can get to that part of my work with a few keystrokes, starting with Alt+Space.

Setting this up was pretty easy. You need the Runner plugin for Launchy and the path to ENScript.exe (mine was here: C:/Program Files (x86)/Evernote/Evernote/ENScript.exe). The Runner plugin has three settings: Name, Program and Arguments.

Name: this is the key command to trigger the action. Keep it short and memorable.

Program: in this case, is the path to ENScript.

Arguments: here we tell ENScript what we want to do, using triggers from this list.

To search all of Evernote, the Argument would be: showNotes /q "$$"

To show all notes from a specific notebook: showNotes /q "notebook:""My Notebook""

To search a specific notebook add in the Launchy query: showNotes /q "notebook:""My Notebook"" "$$"

You could also use Launchy to create a new note from a saved Evernote template using the importNotes /s command.

Importing a template to the default notebook is: importNotes /s "C:\Path to Template\template.enex"

You can also indicate which notebook the new note should be created in: importNotes /n "Notebook Name" /s "C:\Path to Template\template.enex"
