A nice alternative to running audio files or listening to online content. Settings are easy to adjust on the fly. And it offers to save them as presets.

Listary v5.0.0.2843

Andrew Lee on 7 Jul 2023
  • 8MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 14 Oct 2018
  • Suggested by Jacob125

Listary is an enhancement that allows you to quickly search almost any listing in Windows by simply typing your search terms. The program will pop up a small, semi-transparent window in Explorer windows (including open/save dialogs), Task Manager, Registry Editor and even directly on your desktop. The program works with almost any application with a system-generated list.

Although some programs will automatically jump to the first letter you type (a find-as-you-type feature of Windows Explorer), you must type quickly for more than one letter and cannot see your output. Listary brings a long-time feature of Linux to Windows, letting you enter whole words and type slower with automatic changes. Additionally, it allows wildcards and has the ability to edit your input with immediate results.

Advanced features include hotkeys, autocomplete, blacklists, favorites, a customizable window. Note that the program contains many "pro"-only features, but the program is very functional in its basic version.

Note: The latest version is no longer portable. This entry has been updated to reflect the last known portable version of the program.

@IanFromBarrie: Thanks, I have updated the download link.

The direct download link does not seem to work, but otherwise the site is alive and well ;>}
There is also a Softpedia page.
The download page: https://streamwriter.org/en/downloads/
where they announce the availability of a "latest build" (e63b34e)

Midas on 2024-02-04 12:51

Links corrected (hopefully) -- should that happen again, there's also an "Downloads > All builds" page at https://streamwriter.org/en/downloads/builds.

Not your average program launcher.... best used with StrokeIt.

THE MOUSE THAT ROARED: https://youtu.be/-E35OMfL4A4

I wont keep reposting the same info see VNChelper and Qsel for other still functional options as of 2020-11-12.

BUT Popsel is the smallest, fastest and lightest on resources @ a mere 74kb.

It is from same author as Qsel and is functionally the same, BUT with no "window" section, just a minimalist "fly-out" menu like Linux's "flux or black box" menus.

Super speedy little guy, designed for the power user or IT tech with MANY small tools on USB looking for an ideal mobile launch platform that will run on a TOASTER as long as it has 640kb of memory to space

Can auto run apps, etc etc... I suggest a good look at the readme to get the most out of it

AndTheWolf on 2021-07-18 20:37

Now at version 2.58
