Editor's review of EnergyKey
stars
- "EnergyKey"
- Version reviewed: EnergyKey 2.2
This small utility helps users create simple hot-key combinations to automate and execute repetitive tasks. But it also misses an opportunity for programming flexibility.
EnergyKey's utilitarian, compact dialog contains a detailed list of hot-key combos. Easy to invoke, the list is just as easy to edit. The program includes 15 predetermined tasks to run programs, open files and folders, and launch Web sites. The Help file is ample enough to start users toward creating their own hot-key scripts. Ejecting the CD, minimizing all windows, and launching the screensaver are some of the simple actions you use to build scripts.
It's too bad that EnergyKey missed the opportunity to let users add actions that could be used in scripts. There is no doubt using a hot key increases the speed of opening often-used programs, folders, and Web sites. As such, many will find this program useful. While programming scripts is easy enough for novices, advanced users may find it too inflexible compared to similar script builders.
