Spellway Hotkey Assistant 1.65

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application helps you assign hot keys, but is way more trouble than it's worth. Spellway Hotkey Assistant allows you to assign hot keys to run applications, access files, launch your screensaver, and adjust volume controls. You can modify the mouse's right-click button to offer an additional menu of options aside from the standard minimize, maximize, and close functions. The bad news is that this program disables all the keys on your keyboard while it's open. To access another program using your hot keys, you'll have to reopen Spellway Hotkey Assistant, type your hot key, then close it again just to type. We strongly suggest you bypass this program, since most competitive hot-key utilities offer the same functioning minus the trouble.

Publisher's description

From Spellway :

Powerful and easy-to-use hotkey manager with wide range of capabilities. It provides you with additional means to control applications, windows, and other system components. For example, you can assign keyboard shortcuts for quick access to any application, file or folder, ejecting and closing the CD-ROM tray. Hotkey Assistant allows assigning separate hotkeys to control volume options for each playback or recording device. All operations that manage power supply and logon are made available from keyboard. Moreover, window manipulations are easier as you can configure additional functions for the right mouse button.
