All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'

Agreed! I've found that staying in my workflow leads to fewer inadvertent context switches (like ChatGPT in-browser -> HN -> ... -> rabbit hole). MacGPT looks great. I created a similar plugin for my Windows keystroke launcher for the same reason. If anyone's interested, you can check it out here: https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint

I shared the exact same sentiment when I transitioned to Windows after a long period of only using macOS. I eventually began building a launcher myself using C# and over time it has become my daily driver. Feel free to check it out at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint, PRs welcome :-)

A few other nice candidates I found include:

- Keypirinha: https://keypirinha.com/

- Wox: https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox

- ueli: https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ueli

Don't have a video unfortunately, but you can download it from here: https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint/releases (pick the stand-alone release unless you have .NET 5 installed already)

As the title states we made a keystroke launcher for Windows, sort of an Alfred alternative. It is definitely still a work in progress, but we do have quite a few features at this point such as controlling Spotify, searching the web via DuckDuckGo bangs and a lot more. A full list of features and a download link is available at our repo at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint. If you're interested in trying it out or even contributing, please check it out :)
