This program is a command-line toolbar that lets you open files, folders, and websites by typing keywords. The toolbar is only visible when you are using it. It disappears from your screen after you activate it and launch a command. You can quickly activate the toolbar by pressing a global hotkey (semicolon by default). This will always activate Keybreeze, regardless of what program you are using. The hotkey can be changed to any key combination on your keyboard. Then you can type a variety of entries. Keywords are used to open programs and websites. For example, you can type outlook to open Microsoft Outlook, word to open Microsoft Word, or calculator to open Windows calculator.  When you install Keybreeze, keywords will automatically be set up for your commonly used programs, but you can easily make your own for websites and other documents. You can type web addresses/URLs in addition to keywords to open websites and more. View more screenshots. Keybreeze USB Beta was released on April 14th.
