There are serveral ways to do this. One is to type #create and hit enter but you can also just type the name of the application you want to run, hit enter and click yes in the dialog that opens. Or if you are the mouse guy, rightclick the tray icon and choose "Create Command".

Either type #settings or rightclick the tray icon and select Settings. The Dialog should be pretty self-explaining.

Yes, but only if the window has focus - Escape (ESC).

Q:
A:

What do you plan for the future?
Well, a big villa on the seaside, one (or two) good looking girls and a lot of money of course!! =)

Ok, serious now. I plan a lot of neat features for runXT!

  • Media Player controling (Winamp, Windows Media Player, ...)
  • Speech Recognition
  • Recognition of installed Apps to automatically add Commands for them
  • DONE: Batch Commands (starting multiple apps with one command)

And a lot more...
