Hotkey: use the keyboard to launch programs and perform actions

In other articles the Docks have been described, i.e. the bars of graphic icons to launch similar, but more beautiful, programs at the start menu and there has been talk of how to launch programs with a text box in which you just have to write the initials of the program you want to launch (for example Internet Explorer) and press enter to run.
In this article we see a new alternative to launch, on Windows, the most used programs quickly on Windows with HotKeys.
Hotkeys are those Alt-del key combinations, to be pressed together, to start a predefined program. In general, every time you buy a new PC or keyboard, a small program that works as a hotkeys to launch the Internet, e-mail and the media player is given but that small program, in general, is not exactly the best on the square and is always very limited.
First of all I would like you to take a look at the tables to get all the keyboard shortcuts for Windows.
Three very small and light programs stand out as excellent for creating key combinations useful for launching any program and performing some actions quickly.
1) HotKeyz is a small very light program with which you can configure the keys or key combinations on the keyboard to open a certain file, folder or program . Creating hotkeys is very simple because the program has a decidedly linear interface with which you can manage all the combinations and associate a different function to each of them. Just click on Hotkey -> New to configure a new keyboard shortcut and associate it with the desired program.
2) HotkeyP is not an alternative to AutoHotkey (a tool to automate repetitive tasks and always the same operations on the Windows PC) it only allows you to configure keyboard shortcuts for many operations on the computer.
3) AltMove is not just a Hotkeys software because it allows you to add seven different ways of interacting with Windows and the various windows. There are therefore basic actions with the possibility of assigning combinations of mouse and keyboard keys to resize windows, vary their transparency, open programs or documents, move windows "immovable" and so on. Actions can also be created from scratch starting from some predefined models.
The only thing to pay attention to when using these programs is to assign actions so as not to use keys already used by other programs and therefore not to create confusion and conflicts.
An interesting alternative, capable of calling not only hotkey programs but also of completing long sentences is PhraseExpress .
