Rapid Access

Rapid Access is a powerful shortcut management tool that allows you to create and manage custom keyboard shortcuts for quick access to applications, files, and websites. With a simple press of the Caps Lock key, you can access the Rapid Access interface and execute your predefined shortcuts effortlessly.

Getting Started

  1. Download: Download the code as a .zip file.
  2. Extract: Extract the contents to a location of your choice.
  3. Install AHK: Ensure you have AutoHotKey installed on your device.
  4. Run: Once extracted, run the Rapid-Access.ahk file with AutoHotKey.

Coming Soon

  • Setup Installer: Installer to make the process of getting started easier and cleaner.
  • Clipboard Manager: Builtin hotkeys for managing multiple shortcuts (useful for coding)

Using Rapid Access

Toggling the GUI
  • Caps Lock: Toggles the Rapid Access GUI on and off.
  • Shortcut Entry: Type your shortcut directly into the GUI entry field to run, no need to press enter.
  • Regular Caps Lock: If you need to use the regular Caps Lock functionality, press Alt + Caps Lock.
Viewing Current Hotkeys
  • Open Settings: Open the Settings window using the `?` key as mentioned earlier and navigate to the "Current Hotkeys" tab.
  • Built-in Hotkeys: You'll find a table displaying built-in hotkeys and their descriptions.
  • Custom Hotkeys: Below the built-in hotkeys table, there's a scrollable table for custom shortcuts.
Adding Custom Hotkeys
  • Navigate to "Add Hotkey": In the "Settings" window, go to the "Add Hotkey" tab.
  • Fill Out Details:
    • Shortcut: Enter any combination of characters for your custom shortcut.
    • Comment: Provide a brief description of what the shortcut does.
    • Link: Specify either a web link or a file path from your system. You can either type it in or use the "Browse" button to find the file.
  • Add Hotkey: Once you've filled in all the details, press the "Add Hotkey" button.
  • Reload: Remember to reload the script using the `rel` hotkey after making any changes to custom shortcuts, as the custom table updates dynamically, but the script itself doesn't.
Dynamic Link Searching (DLS)
  • Navigate to "Add Hotkey": In the "Settings" window, go to the "Add Hotkey" tab.
  • Add a web link with a 'REPLACEME' to search within a link, e.g.:
  • Add Hotkey: Once you've filled in all the details, press the "Add Hotkey" button.
  • Reload: Once added, reload the script. To use DLS, type your shortcut followed by a space.
Deleting Custom Hotkeys
  • Open Settings: To delete a custom shortcut, open the "Settings" window and navigate to the "Current Hotkeys" tab.
  • Select Shortcut: In the scrollable table of custom shortcuts, select the one you want to delete.
  • Remove Shortcut: Press the "Remove" button located below the table to remove the selected shortcut.
  • Reload: Remember to reload the script using the `rel` hotkey after making any changes to custom shortcuts, as the custom table updates dynamically, but the script itself doesn't.
App Management
  • Terminating the App: If you need to stop Rapid Access from running, simply press the "Terminate App" button in the "App Settings" tab.

Now you're ready to make the most of Rapid Access! Customize your shortcuts, streamline your workflow, and enjoy rapid access to your favorite apps, files, and websites.
