Launchy has been updated to version 2.1.1. This open source program is suitable for Windows XP, Vista and Linux and is intended to quickly and efficiently open or start programs, folders and Internet pages. Among other things, it indexes the start menu and favorites, and when the combination of Alt and the space bar is pressed, a search bar appears. By typing just a few letters from the name of the program, folder or favorite, it can be quickly found and launched or opened. The changelog of version 2.1.1 looks like this:

New features:

  • Added Linux support! (KDE and Gnome both work, possibly others)
  • Added Google Calculator plugin (gcalc)
  • Added configurable default search to weby (all searches with no results default to google)
  • “/” and “\” now tab complete while file browsing
  • Added rescue mode to recover lost windows or forgotten hotkeys (in Linux run “launchy rescue” or use the start menu in windows)
  • Minimum transparency set to 15%
  • Searches are even faster and the catalog uses slightly less memory

Bug Fixes:

  • 2.11 fixes an upgrade check bug found in 2.1
  • Fixed the database update timer
  • Fixed centering problem when multiple monitors in use
  • Fixed the url encoding problem, eg googling for “c#” now works
