Stuff I Use: Keybreeze

Download Keybreeze

Keybreeze is an incredibly useful, tiny little application.  Let me explain how it could make your life better.

I think that windows has been busily conditioning us to do everything via the mouse.  For instance, say you want to open the novel you're writing.  Say it's in documents, in the subfolder novel.  First you click on the start menu, then documents, then novel.

Contrast this with what would happen with keybreeze.  You teach the program where the file is (you can manually type the location, browse, or right click the file).  Then you would activate keybreeze (my hot key is 'end') and type novel or no or whatever you want to open the file.

Key breeze can also fetch definitions, tv schedules or just about any other task you can automate.

You can also use keybreeze to create 'macros.'  Macros are recorded strings of mouse movements/keystrokes you can use to automate just about anything (like logging into a forum).
