New SlickRun Beta

Eric posted a new beta of SlickRun (just got around to noticing). I wish SlickRun has the same version check in Fiddler (hint hint Eric). I like the new Ctrl+f to insert a file name. SmartPaste is also great.

v3.9.2 Beta (16 Dec 2005)
+ Autocomplete of filenames as parameters to MagicWords
+ Hit CTRL+F or CTRL+I to insert filename(s) in command line
+ ESC (or ESC,ESC) activates last active window instead of no window
+ Added SmartPaste (trims pasted text, removes crlf,etc)
+ Prompt before "Undo changes" in Jot
+ _STARTUP MagicWord executes on startup
+ _DISPLAYCHANGE MagicWord executes on display resolution change
+ New NoMouseActivation setting in [General] section of SlickRun.ini for those who don't want to be able to Activate Slickrun via click

Anyway, I was just recently re-inspired to how killer SlickRun really is. I finally got around to binding Windows-R to SlickRun.

Currently I'm down to using SlickRun + Launchy for my launching needs. I like Launchy cause it allows me to get to my folders/applications without having to create magic words. Plus it's purty.

Isn't this 7 months old?

Like I said, I'm a bit behind...

I'm actually working on SlickRun 4.0 in C#, which will have a version check like Fiddler, as well as tons of new features (scan your start menu, anyone?).

As always, feedback appreciated at the Contact link @ bayden.com

Thanks,
Eric
