The highest honor is giving the program a keybind
That’s spoiling at that point
Having on taskbar already give it a keybind on most cases, i quickly open my “work” apps with super + (3…5)
My equivalent of autorun is just me pressing Super + 3,4,5,6
Super?
Fuck me, that’s a tip and a half! I love keyboard shortcuts!
Unless you’re on windows it doesn’t make sense to call it “windows key” so on linux we call it super or meta key most of the time
But its a picture of a window.
Not on all keyboards
Is it on yours?
No, mine have “win” on it, and i cry everyday on my bath because of that. One day i will buy a penguin key… one day…
Task manager with my mouse keybind 🤤
If you pin it to the taskbar you are also giving it a keybind though.
Super+F -> Firefox Super+R -> Terminal Super+E -> File Manager Super+X -> Note-taking program

Holy shit why did I never do this before.

I tried Linux and all the keybinding was a lot of fun, I gotta do it more with windows. I built my own specialized keyboard for inputting chords when I’m writing lyric sheets and I set CTRL+Tab as the keybind to switch between that and QWERTY.

I do composing, too, and I’ve written my fair share of shoddy scripts to automate tasks, but changing up the whole keyboard layout for a task, that’s the sort of madness I aspire to. 🙃
T is terminal for me, R would be to just run a single command in my top bar or something
Yeah, I had it on Super+T at first, too, but I have the command/application/everything runner bound to Super+Esc and I open a lot of terminal windows throughout the day, so I re-bound it to Super+R just because it’s slightly easier to reach.
I pin things on the taskbar if it’ll help me make an offensive word. Adobe and Microsoft really help open up the Scrabble board.
This is nothing compared to echo “alias np=new_program” >> ~/.zshrc
Wait till you hear about a direct launch hotkey in your window manager
Window manager? I use tmux directly on the tty, that way there’s much less that can break.
“map :!new_program” >> ~/.vimrc
That’s just the nerd version
shell:startup if it's particularly useful.
Virtual machine manager and a direct anydesk link to my server
With a 4k monitor and small icons you can fit tons on your taskbar. It’s how I roll and it’s no honor. I don’t pin games there though, that’s what steam is for. Steam isn’t even on my taskbar, it’s in the system tray/active notification spot in the corner.
That truly is the highest honor, especially if it’s allowed to start up with the computer
The first ten are still somewhat more important since you can access them via Win+1, Win+2 and so on.
you have to launch it in order for it to appear there tho
Bold of you to assume that Steam isn’t one of the select few softwares that I actually allow to run on startup
