JOYPAD AS A CONVENIENT LAUNCHER FOR THE MOST FREQUENT ACTIONS
I have a ton of various batch files and scripts that i use in my daily process to simplify routine actions.
Copy/move files, start/stop services, run applications with specific parameters, embed Exif tags, and much more.
Most of them are executed by assigned shortcuts.
Because of their quantity they begin to interfere with global shortcuts of installed software.
That’s why I want to draw a visible logical line between shortcuts for scripts and shortcuts for applications.
And i think that i have been found a proper and quite convenient way to separate this mess.
To solve the problem, I’m going to use generic joypad and [JOY2KEY]
,
an excellent tool for emulating keyboard and mouse input so that Windows applications can be controlled with your joypad.
I bought it a long time ago and didn’t use it for some strange reason.
Joy2Key offers a lot of advanced functionality that is too excessive for my inquiries.
In my case, all I need is to run the script on button strokes.
All you have to do is select a button on the controller and assign the desired action to it.
In addition to all of that the new version 7.0 has a nice and clean design combined with the dark theme that is so trendy right now!
