The Portable ControlPad application was designed to be a small tool that turns the numeric keypad on your keyboard to a Windows command execution system. You may configure any numeric code to: Execute any program, open any document, open any web address or send any series of keystrokes to the operating system.
Usage:
ControlPad was designed to be operated entirely from the numeric keypad.
- Press and Hold the * key to activate the input window.
- Enter a numeric code then press the / key to add a new command.
- Enter a numeric code then press the Enter key to execute a command.
- Enter several codes separated by + to execute several commands.
A command may be anything you can run from the Windows Run dialog (programs, documents, web addresses) or any series of simulated keystrokes (e.g. Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V). If you are using a laptop (without a numeric keypad), you may configure ControlPad to use different keys to launch the code window.
What's New in This Release:
· Added: Ability to search the web directly from the command console. By default, any command that is not recognized will attempt to find a relevant webpage using Google Feeling Lucky feature.
· This functionality can be disabled or modified in the Advanced section of the settings.
