About OnHand

OnHand is a utility intended to build upon the functionality of the Windows hot keys. It allows you to reduce time accessing frequently used actions, such as starting applications, opening documents, minimizing windows and passing keyboard commands to other applications. Utility possibilities are considerably expanded for the user due to the use of script language for automatic executing of complex actions.

OnHand can make a hot-key combinations using 'Ctrl', 'Alt', 'Shift' and 'Win' key - modifiers. In comparison with built-in Windows functions, OnHand provides more possibilities for the choice of a hot key (~ \ / ' ; : . ,). At the same time, OnHand can show all assigned hot keys, simply by clicking on its icon on the System Tray. OnHand supports saving and loading of various hot keys lists. These lists can even be assigned to a hot key, allowing you to set various lists to work with different applications.
