eskro Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 i think this would be great! Using FLIRC's GUI, if we could indicate the path of an executable we wish to launch, and record it to a desired button on our remote that would be awesome!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirDrexl Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 You can right-click on any shortcut on the Start Menu or desktop and create a hotkey to launch it, then program that key sequence into Flirc. It will be Ctrl + Alt + whatever key you want. If the app doesn't have a shortcut, create one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskro Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 oh yeh i know that ;) i've written a little guide talking about this in another thread here. basically i wanted to suggest a more 'noob friendly' way of doing such a thing. since your here, u might wanna chek out KEYEXTENDER application :) http://www.remapkey.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirDrexl Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah, I see, but adding it to Flirc's GUI would just involve writing another program like that, or creating the shortcut for you in the background. It doesn't seem necessary when he's got enough on his plate as it is, like the beta firmware versions, creating a user-readable config, and adding more keys to the GUI. I'd like to see the number pad added at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I would love to have an application launcher in flirc, and I'll be looking into figuring out how to do this after the 1.0 release. The hard part is, making it work across platform. = ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budwyzer Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 While it makes sense to have something like this, I do like using Win+n ("n" being a number) to launch Plex and the like. Because when a pesky popup shows up for whatever reason, it also works to refocus on that program. I dont think an application launcher would do that, in fact it would just launch another instance of the app if it's allowed. And if it isn't allowed, then yet another popup would occur saying that the app in question is already running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
