Hotkey Management
Hello everybody, I would like to share with you a hotkey managing application I've designed.
LiteKeys is a hotkey manager for Windows operating systems designed to assign hotkeys for multiple keyboards connected to the computer.
The original purpose of the LiteKeys is to improve ergonomics while working with graphics tablet. It allows you to connect an additional keyboard, which you can place at a comfortable spot, and use its keys as shortcuts.
However the LiteKeys can enhance your workflow even when you are not using the tablet. You can use the extra keyboard to assign hotkeys for tasks that you perform repeatedly. You can see the various actions that you can assign to keys with the LiteKeys below in the Features list.
Features
If you would like to try it out, you can download it here: http://litekeys.codeplex.com
I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, especially if it improved your workflow / conditions somehow. And if you like the solution, I would like to ask you to send me a log (there is an option to turn on the logging and please turn on also the secure logging for this purpose) of you working on your graphic projects with the LiteKeys. I would use the log to analyse how the program is being used and how effective it is. You can send me the log and any comments to LiteKeysDev@gmail.com.
