New SlickRun Beta Release

Eric Lawrence has updated my favorite windows application with some great little tweaks. If you aren’t using SlickRun you are missing out. Slickrun is like the “address bar” you can enable in the task menu but far more powerfull. I use it dozens of times a day.

+ 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

It's probably not as feature rich but have you played with the short cuts in the Windows DeskTop search?

The reason i ask that one of the "problems" i run into is having to many little toolbar thingys..

One of the cool things with the Windows Desktop search is that it kinda works like Quicksilver on OSX or AppRocket.... you can just type the program name, it finds it from your Start Items and you click and run. It could be improved to act a bit more like quicksilver....

I am surpirsed you are not using ActiveWords to do a lot of these things. Why look for them, just name them.
