This software puts a new spin on keyboard hotkeys and achieves it in the most simple way.
You just pop in in what program you want to launch and hit the Enter key.
If you’re anything like me, you need more than that.
That is where Fingertips comes in.
With that being said, the Start menu is now practically obsolete.
It’ll also add in your Favorites from Internet Explorer.

Click “New”.
Set your abbreviation, which is your text-based “hotkey” to launch that app or action.
From there, enter what needs be.
