The same idea applies to Keypirinha [1], a small tool to open Apps etc. on Windows by typing. E.g. hit ALT+Space, type F.. and it'll immediately suggest Firefox, based on your previous use patterns. No menus, no clicking, no mouse. Just awesome.

Finally some appreciation for my favourite thing. Once you go Keypirinha, there's no going back.

First thing I install on any machine I use.

Have you seen PackageControl?

Nice, thanks! So far I use chocolatey [1]. It is good, although some apps tend to be outdated (I can live with that, for the moment, it is not that worse yet). Will definitely keep in my Package Control.

Apologies, I think you referred to Keypirinha-PackageControl [1].

Did no know this. Thanks!
