JAL: Just Another Launcher

JAL is a launcher/runner type script that can associate any autohotkey function with a keyword so that the user can call that function from the keyword. It can also pass parameters to the function.

JAL has a very simple syntax. Each element of the command you pass to JAL is tab delimited. All of the keywords go into the first item and then each subsequent item contains a parameter that will be sent to those keywords. The first item supports multiple keywords that are space delimited.

To open JAL press Capslock. To execute the command you have typed in press Capslock again. To hide JAL press Esc.

Comments, suggestions and criticisms are all very welcome.

Built in keywords
There are some built in keywords that give JAL basic functionality. A list of them is below.

add
Associates a keyword with a command so that you can call it later.

To launch things, the first parameter should be the keyword and the second parameter should be the location of whatever needs to be run. Tip: You can drag and drop files onto JAL to input their location fast. You can also type in web addresses.

To search for things, the first parameter should be "search", the second should be the keyword and the third should be the web address of the search engine. Go to the search engine, do a search for "searchforthis" and then copy the web address into the third parameter.

To run code, leave all parameters empty and a new box will open. Type the keyword into the first input and the code you want to run in the second input. All ahk code is valid!

delete
Deletes the keyword and its function. Just put the keyword in as the first parameter.

rename
Renames a function so that you can call it with a new keyword. The first parameter is the old keyword and the second parameter is the new keyword.
