User Manual

What is it, and how does it work?

An alias is a keyword linked to an application. When users type it, the application will launch as configured.

Start alias

Create a list of shortcuts, configure them, and save time by simply typing the shortcut and pressing ENTER.

To display the window, the default shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + Space.

Ctrl + Alt behaves the same way as AltGr.

When you use the shortcut, a window appears:

  1. In the search box, enter the keyword you want to execute.
  2. As you type, you’ll see results that match your input (point 2).
  3. Press ENTER to execute the first item in the list.
  4. Alternatively, click on the item you want to execute.

What is a command line?

A command line follows this structure:

command [space] parameters

  • The text before the first space is the command—the action to be executed.
  • Everything after the first space is the parameters, which modify the behavior of the command.

If the command starts with any of the following characters:
$ & | @ # ( ) § ! { } - _ \ + * / = < > ; : %
then the first character is considered the command, and the rest are the parameters.

For example, if you have configured a Google search command as follows:

Keyword File Name
search https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=$W$

then to search for “aeroplane” in Google, you would type:

search aeroplane.

The use of $W$ is explained HERE.
