Fuzzy text will be fixed in the next version.

Also I'm adding snap options, changing location, resizing, transparency and on top toggle to HotKeyz. So you'll be able to resize active window to a custom size using a hotkey for example.

Nice going, leomoon. I can confirm blurriness is gone from this version. :sunglasses:

In yet another very minor cosmetic niggle, it would be nice if in HotKeyz initial settings view columns would be constrained to the default viewport, thus not showing any scrollbars unless absolutely needed or manually expanded by user (see 1st screen below).

Plus, could there be a simple "Center" option in that window manipulation action list?

Perfect.

I should be able to fix the first scrollbar but I'm not sure about the second one.

About the "Center" option, yea that's very easy to do.

I'll do these changes soon.

Sorry, I only meant the one in the first screenshot. What second one?

And thanks for your consideration of my suggestions. :slightly_smiling_face:

Cool. :sunglasses:

Care to elaborate a little on that "Run as Batch command" action?

For instance, is the file field meant to point to a BAT file when this option is set?

With that checked, it will run the contents of the input field as is in a hidden command prompt (I should probably disable "Browse File" button when "Run as Batch command" is checked). Without that checked, you can run any kind of file even batch files.

These are some examples:
RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL mmsys.cpl,,0
START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmrun" -T ws start "C:\VMs\Virtual.vmx"

Another example would be, let's say there is a Windows service that fails once in a while. You can assign a hotkey to the Batch command below and restart it with a hotkey:
net stop "Service Name" && net start "Service Name"

You can even write one line Batch if statement and it will execute properly if "Run as Batch command" is checked.

I have also made a small utility called LeoMoon PlaybackSwitch.

This will loop through and select the next available playback device with a small tooltip showing the name, every time it gets executed (I switch between my headset and speakers a lot.).

You can assign a hotkey to this small app and switch your playback device quickly.

Not sure why this app hasn't been added to the database yet. Seems to tick all the boxes, and though it's a 32-bit app, it seems to have no problem working on top of 64-bit apps in my testing on Windows 10.

I have added it to the database: https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=3041

I feel ridiculous I didn't mess with this sooner. I think I got put off because I don't have a numpad on my primary machine. But the window organization function with the CTRL+ALT+Numpad is fantastic:

For example, I did this to my desktop in seconds:

If that's the ONLY thing it did, I'd suggest we add to the database. Thanks for posting about the update.
