If you just came here to install the Shortcuts, open a PowerShell terminal (version 5.1 or later) and run:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xxthunder/shortcuts/refs/heads/develop/bin/install.ps1 | iexThe most important tool of Shortcuts is Keypirinha. It provides a fast and configurable way to open your favorite tools, links and URLs. It was started automatically after installation (you can see a k-icon in your taskbar's icon area).
Note: Keyprinha can be used by hitting Win+Alt+Space.
In the small window that pops up you can search for any tool installed on your PC (e.g. type word) and some shortcuts we provide (e.g., type SPL).
Note: A very important command is 'Refresh catalog', that commands Keypirinha to rescan your PC for new tools and shortcuts.
PowerShell Core is the latest stable release of PowerShell maintained by its own community. It can be easily installed via scoop. Again open a PowerShell terminal and run:
scoop install pwshWhen you already installed Shortcuts and you want to update to the latest version, you can just hit Win+Alt+Space and search for update.bat.
Another possibility for updating Shortcuts is to open a PowerShell terminal and run the install command again:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xxthunder/shortcuts/refs/heads/develop/bin/install.ps1 | iexAfter the update, hit Win+Alt+Space and search for 'Refresh catalog'. Execute this to update Keypirinha's catalog database. After a short time the new shortcuts are available.
