edit windows hotkeys

does anyone know any kind of program or software that would allow me to create my own hotkeys. like if i wanted it to ctrl+alt+f would start up firefox
thank you

 

AutoHotKey

Here's the code for that, by the way:

Code:

^!f::Run [COLOR="Red"]{PathToFirefox}[/COLOR]

Obviously {PathToFirefox} should be replaced with the path, such as:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

There's probably a better way of doing this... but this works. (I know because I use it.)

 

I use HotKeyz (google it) on my HTPC, I use it to modify my remote, but it all works with the keyboard too.

 

it took me a bit to get the programming down for the autohotkey software but i figured it out. thanks matt.

 

Yep. No problem. I'm actually impressed you use that way. As I said, there are probably WAY more easier ways. (Such as Caleb's.) But this way you have much more customization.

 

well im majoring in computer science so the mindset for programming was there i just had to get the formating down and of course im just doing simple ones like the one you showed me earlier. and the more customization the better as far as im concerned
