Is WindowSwitcher still an ongoing piece of the 0.9 update? Definitely looking forward to the /docs being added back in as well.

EDIT:

Seems odd also that MS Office apps aren't found by default through the registry. But I suppose if it will keep them if I add them manually then that's ok.

So...I revert Columbus to old version.It's works really great with most Programs,
but why Columbus not working suitable with JetBrain's products !?

This happens to my PC from time to time, normally a /reset will correct the GUI position to show properly again.

Some programs may need to have their run command altered to launch properly, though I haven't tried to use any JetBrains software with Columbus. Try right clicking on the item in the Columbus list and hit Change Target and see what it is pointing at. Manually try to run what is listed as the target and see if it works.

For example, I have Sublime Text 3 installed. In Columbus its target is "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe". If I just navigate to that program's directory and double click the exe, it launches fine. If it had issues, we would need to figure out what parameters were needed to launch the program as expected, then add them into Columbus' settings file so that it works. You should be able to find the required parameters (if any) by checking the properties of the desktop shortcut created when the program was installed.

Also, Ctrl + Alt + P shortcut does not work on my Windows 10 PC. Funny I should mention that another app I have that used Ctrl + Alt + V did not work on Windows 10 either.

I've been away from Autohotkey for awhile and now I'm partially back.
I'm happy to see that Columbus is still an on-going project of yours and a lot of improvements are added in as well.
I will like to see some examples on how to use the plugin feature too.
Thanks Run1e

Warms my heart to hear the support and appreciation for Columbus I have lots of plans for Columbus but don't have the time or motivation atm to go forward. The progress for Columbus haven't really been present lately even though I still have great interest in the project. Once I finish high school the time for some serious work into Columbus will hopefully come I hear many cool suggestions and ideas on improvement and feel bad when I realize I won't be able to do anything about it as I have other things that I have to prioritize.

If you want to learn more about the plugin system I would recomment looking at the examples on github and this thread, and maybe discuss it with Elesar as I understand it he has put some effort into understanding how it works. For any questions or requests come to me

I'm quite happy to see you still working on it as well, Run1e. Don't worry about doing what you need to do!

Is there a way to incorporate launching of the Modern WinJS apps on Windows 8+? There is no exe to drag and add into the application.

Where can I get the .exe now, the site linked is dead.

You can download the latest source release from here
https://github.com/Run1e/Columbus/releases
Then compile an exe using Ahk2Exe
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm#ahk2exe

Thanks! Can it also search within Windows system?

I'm not sure... This project is no longer being maintained. Perhaps you'll want to alternatives if it does not satisfy your needs.

Personalized, I use Keypirinha with custom settings.

The project has been dead for a few years. Unless the project in its current state is good enough for you, I'd recommend finding an alternative.

Hi Run1e,
Very interested in your columbus.exe but the runie site doesn't exist anymore. I have the ahk but need the exe. Thanks
