Use Keyboard Shortcuts to launch an application / vbs
Hi RaMMicHaeL,
Here is a small feature request, I would like to use 7+TT's "Keyboard Shortcuts" feature to launch a program (or more specifically, a small .vbs I wrote), by binding it to a shortcut key (for my use, F8).
Can you implement such a feature, at least temporarily via a registry key?
So far I couldn't find a way to achieve this using the currently available "Value data".
Thank you very much.

Even though it doesn't have much to do with taskbar tweaking, you should be able to achieve this with the tweaker by using the guide in the following answer:
Hi RaMMicHaeL,thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry but this isn't the same thing. My request is about using specifically 7+TT's advanced "keyboard shortcut" feature to achieve, as I bind that same kb shortcut to a mouse button and do not wish to trigger the app by clicking on the taskbar but by pushing a defined mouse button (that's available anywhere, even when an app is in fullscreen mode).
I hope you can reconsider.
Thank you,

You can do this. The guide that I linked is for "Mouse Button Control", but it can be applied to "Keyboard Shortcuts" too. For example, this makes Ctrl+Alt+A launch the calculator:
Unless I misunderstand and you mean something completely different?
You understood perfectly, thank you,
but while:
"notepad.exe" , "explorer.exe", "calc.exe" are working ok,
neither:
"C:\Program Files\prog.vbs" or "prog.vbs" (placed in the Windows folder) seem to work..
Using wscript.exe should work, try:
wscript.exe "C:\Program Files\prog.vbs"
