šŸš€ LNCHR

Heavily inspired by TheBestPessimist's AutoHotKey-Launcher and PowerToys Run; this is my version of a quick launcher, compatible with AHK v2.

The gist

Re-map CapsLock to open a GUI with a single textbox that runs shortcuts mapped to text that you type in. A semantic way of activating shortcuts, opening files or folders, or searching the net (who has the time to remember a millionCTRL+WIN+XYZs? I'd rather spend that time coding!). You have the power to create shortcuts as desired, for example: set pai to MS Paint, scr to run an arbitrary script, or con to press WIN+K 'cause you can't remember the key-press.

For your consideration

Unfortunately I don't have the time to well-document this. I think the code is somewhat approachable, though. If you want to re-map double pressing of CapsLock, it should be self-explanatory, for example. All I ask in return for your use of this script is that you share any ideas that you have (or have already implemented) šŸ™‚.
