Ready set is a launcher for Windows that will allow you to launch any application that is in your path, open a document in its default application or run a PowerShell command.

Once ReadySet is running you can use the following key combination to bring up the launcher Shift+Win+C. When the launcher is active you can use Shift+Ctrl+P to switch to running a PowerShell command and Shift+Ctrl+C to switch back to the generic command runner.

To run ReadySet you will need the Microsoft .NET framework 4.5 installed, if you don't have it you can download it from here.

• Build in the ability to start the application when the user logs in.
• Give the user the ability to set their preferred default runner.
• Move to plugin based architecture to make it easier to add new command runners.
• Add auto-completion.
• Add a command history on a per-runner basis.
• Ability to customise the global hot key.

ReadySet uses some 3rd party libraries to achieve its functionality:

• WPF NotifyIcon

The runner in the icon was retrieved from The Noun Project and is published under a Public Domain Mark.
