A while back I posted about enso, although at the time I was excited about it now after using it for a few months I find it just to buggy to use (crashes every few commands) so its just not usable.
To the enso team, please please continue development of this & fix the bugs (I submitted countless bug reports so hopefully you have all the info you need).
Back to the point, I have found a successor to enso & its Launchy. At first I missed some of the cool features such as the “learn” command & media control commands but after a while I began to prefer it.
Launchy has some plug-ins that are very helpful & to get around the custom commands you just create a folder & put shortcuts in it & tell launchy to look at it (add directory to catalog).
As for the media control I found WACommand (winamp command line tool) which is great & does exactly what I wanted. Just add the wacommand.exe to a path indexed by Launchy & use “wacommand <tab> /play” to play track etc. I went a step further & added “play”, “stop”, “pause”, etc shortcut commands to wacommand & now I can just type those into Launchy & boom, instant replacement to enso’s media controller. Obviously if you dont use winamp then you will have to take a different approach (or switch to winamp (recommended)).
