Quick To-Do List Entry

Posted 4 months, 2 weeks ago at 5:38 pm. 0 comments

I use ListPro as my main list repository.  To quickly add items to my lists, I type “alt-space, tab, todo, tab,” and then whatever line of text I want to add to my todo list (groceries, tasks, etc.)

To accomplish this, I use Launchy with the below Autohotkey script.  Inside Launchy, use the runner plug-in with the path to the below Autohotkey script as the command and “$$” (including quotes) as the parameter.
