HotKey

A list of all the default keyboard shortcuts for Everything and how to customize them.

1. In computing, a keyboard shortcut is a series of one or several keys that invoke a software program to perform a preprogrammed action. This action may be part of the standard functionality of the operating system or application program, or it may have been written by the user in a scripting language.
2. The same hotkey can do the same things or different things when pressed on different keyboards. A single command can tell each character to do one thing or many things. HotkeyNet is currently in early beta. The test is public. Anyone can download the program for free and try it.
3. To define a Hotkey to open Everything: In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options. Click the Keyboard tab. Choose a hotkey method. Press a new key combination. Note: Everything must be running in the background for hotkeys to work.

A hotkey is a keyboard key, that when pressed by itself or in combination with other keys, carries out a function. Hotkeys provide convenient shortcuts to common tasks that are otherwise accessed through menu navigation. Users can also assign shortcuts to keys within many software programs by using macros to create hotkey functions.

Most operating systems have a library of built-in hotkeys with many of these standardized to help users that might switch operating systems or use more than one platform. Software programs, including word processors, spreadsheets and Web browsers also incorporate standardized hotkeys in addition to offering specialized hotkeys specific to the program.

For those running Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, holding down the Control (Ctrl) key while pressing the 'C' key (Ctrl + C) copies selected text to the clipboard. Ctrl + V pastes the text into an available window. Ctrl + X cuts text, and Ctrl + Z is the undo function. The F-keys (F1 – F12) are commonly used by themselves, with F1 being the standard shortcut to Help menus. On Apple® Macintosh® computers, the Apple or Command key replaces the Control key for the same key combinations that copy, paste, cut and undo.

Some keyboards feature extra keys that are user-programmable, (though standard keys can also be programmed). Macros can be assigned to these extra keys to create custom hotkeys. Custom hotkeys are especially useful in productivity software, in debugging tools, and in gaming applications.

Programming a hotkey is quite easy. The process normally takes only a moment, and essentially involves opening a macro program to record the sequence required to carry out the desired function. The recorded movements are assigned like a script to the chosen key(s). Pressing the hotkey from that point forward will activate the sequence, automating the function. In Microsoft® Word, for example, the macro program is available through Tools > Macro > Record New Macro.

To view existing hotkeys in your operating system, check the main Help menu (hotkey F1 will get you there). Search for 'keyboard shortcuts' or 'hotkeys / hot keys.' Printing the list and keeping it handy can aid you in memorizing the hotkeys you find most helpful. Don't forget to check inside your favorite software programs as well, including your email client, Web browser, and productivity software.

Using hotkeys can improve productivity and reduce repetitive mouse movements that might contribute to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. If you find yourself continually reaching for the mouse to carry out a necessary task or function, consider looking for an existing hotkey combination or creating your own.
