Introduction Welcome to KEYWIN® We are confident that KEYWIN will greatly increase your productivity.

Have you ever thought about how much time you are WASTING by not regularly using keyboard shortcuts on your computer? The result about how much time you are likely wasting per year will blow your mind. Most people lose an average of 2 seconds per minute of work by switching back & forth from their mouse instead of using the analogous keyboard shortcut. Learning just this single shortcut could save you several cumulative hours over the course of a year. Time you can save is approximately

8 Days per Year That’s right. If your job requires you to be working on a computer throughout each standard 8-hour workday, then using keyboard shortcuts can save you 8 entire workdays every year. This is equal to 3.3% of your total productivity. Here’s a quick derivation of this figure:

While above fact is about using general keyboard shortcuts, KEYWIN let you define your own keyboard shortcuts to perform activities for which perhaps no keyboard shortcuts are defined yet (e.g. adjusting

volume, launching applications, files, folders, website and many more) and thereby let you save more time and increase your productivity.

What is KEYWIN? KEYWIN is productivity tool and keyboard utility software (made for Windows OS) with an ability to program various actions to keyboard keys and execute these when pressed in combination with

Windows Key , thereby saving your time on performing complicated and/or repetitive actions. E.g. you can open Calculator by pressing +C instantly or open Google website just by pressing + G. KEYWIN also offers outstanding features like Virtual Desktops, On-Demand and Automatic Power Saving feature, well organized screenshots folder and an Innovative Battery Gauge for battery operated computers like laptops, notebooks.

Why you should use KEYWIN? There is always a need to instantly open frequently used applications, files, folders and websites and to perform repetitive tasks like adjusting volume of speakers, taking screenshots, turning off monitor when stepping away or even sending same reply (with attachments) to number of recipients.

What if you get a power to assign these complicated / repetitive actions to your keyboard keys only once and perform these again and again or whenever you want just by pressing a key? KEYWIN gives you that exact power. So next time you may

- open MS Excel by pressing +X and MS Word by pressing +W,

- increase and decrease speaker volume by pressing +} and +{ and Mute by pressing +Backspace.

Here are some cool features in KEYWIN

More Desktops in one computer With many open applications taskbar usually get overcrowded. KEYWIN offers 3 virtual desktops in addition to the default real desktop and thereby you have total 4 desktops with choice to open different application in different desktops.

Secure your workstation and go GREEN KEYWIN has an ability to turn off the monitor (one of most power consuming resource) of computer in few seconds after workstation locked and/or after screensaver started. We recommend you to enable these options if you wish to contribute to energy saving and thereby to the GREEN environment. Note: This option offers a good battery time for battery operated computers like laptops, notebooks.

Take Rapid Screenshots With KEYWIN you can take rapid screenshots of your screens (multiple monitors) and automatically save these to an organized folder with date and time. So you just need to press a key to take screenshot without worrying about it getting saved. Very useful to record on screen shared contents via online meetings.

Battery Gauge (for laptops and notebooks) KEYWIN’s Innovative Battery Gauge, displayed at bottom of the screen below task bar, let you monitor ongoing state of your battery. Thus you can hide traditional battery status icons from taskbar and make more room for open applications.

Make window topmost With KEYWIN you can make any window topmost i.e. make window float on top of other windows. E.g. you will always like the Calculator or Stock Market Meter to be always top of other windows. *One topmost window will go behind or come forth to another topmost window.

Make window Transparent This feature can let you make your window transparent and see through it. Useful when you prefer to look through certain window all the time.

These are yet more features ahead, read rest of this manual for more information.

Programming Keys with KEYWIN You can program a key which is available (highlighted in yellow) in KEYWIN as well as you can re-program keys which are already programmed (highlighted in pink) Note: Keys highlighted in WHITE are not available as these are used or blocked by other applications or Windows operating system.

Following steps will guide you on how to program / re-program key by assigning tasks

Shortcut

1. Shortcut – File

With this feature you can open any designated file by pressing +Key

In this example we will program a new key “A” to open an excel file named “Budget Sep 2014.xlsx” which is located in path “C:\Finance\PersonalFinance\Personal Monthly Budget”

1. In KEYWIN window click on “A” key to open key configuration panel (Refer adjacent image.)

2. Double click on text box showing “Double Click on me to assign PATH / URL”

3. A dialog box pops up and asks if you want to overwrite

existing path. Select YES to overwrite.

4. Next you see a dialog box asking “Select shortcut type”. Here select “Select File” option

5. In “Open File” dialog box select the

appropriate file and click on “Open” button.

In this example we are selecting excel file “Budget Sep 2014.xls” located in folder “C:\Finance\PersonalFinance\Personal Monthly Budget”

6. You can see file path appearing in text box.

Now you see key “A” is highlighted in PINK color.

When you press +A key combination the excel file “Budget Sep 2014.xls” located in folder “C:\Finance\PersonalFinance\Personal Monthly Budget” opens instantly.

Similarly you can program the key to open other files, applications, Web URL and save your time on drilling down through folders every moment.

instantly pressing key.

2. Shortcut – Web URL

With this feature you can open the assigned web URL by pressing +Key combination. In this example we will re-program key “A” to open KEYWIN’s facebook URL http://www.facebook.com/Keywinsoftware.

Refer Shortcut – File procedure and follow Steps 1 to 4 (Page 12).

5. Select “Web URL” and you will be prompted if you want to select Internet Explorer Favorites.

6. In this case select NO since we will enter the web URL manually.

7. Next an input dialog box will open asking you to enter the Web Address (URL)

8. Enter http://www.facebook.com/Keywinsoftware URL in input box and click OK.

Now you can see the KEYWIN facebook link/URL in text box and

when you press +A key combination KEYWIN’s facebook page opens up instantly (if your computer is connected to internet).

Similarly you can open reoccurring Live/Lync Meeting links, any web link (especially those which you visit frequently) instantly by pressing key.

3. Shortcut – Folder

With this feature you can open any assigned (local or network) Folder instantly by pressing +Key

In this example we will program key “A” to open folder “Personal Monthly Budget” Folder Path : “C:\Finance\PersonalFinance\Personal Monthly Budget”

Refer previous Shortcut – File procedure and follow Step 1 to 4 (Page 12)

5. Choose “Select Folder” option and

“Browse for Folder” dialog box will open to select the folder

When you press +A key combination the “Personal Monthly Budget” folder opens.

Thus, Shortcut option helps you to program a key to instantly open Files, Web URLs and folders. It is

recommended to program shortcut for the files, URLs and folders which you explore frequently. This

helps to save time and reduce clutter of icons on your desktop and also ensure confidentiality of files,

URLs, folders to some extent.

Text

Many a times there is a need to insert a same text frequently. E.g. formatted word “KEYWIN” entered frequently in this manual. Similarly with this feature you can assign plain text (i.e. non-formatted text) to

a key and insert the same text by pressing +Key wherever cursor is placed. In this example we try to program key “/” by assigning text and insert it into Notepad. 1. Open KEYWIN window and click on “/” key and the configuration panel will open showing task

options. Check “Enable Key” option and select radio button “Text”.

2. Enter or paste text into textbox. If text is large and does not fit in the textbox, click on “Expand the Text Box” to edit or view the text in Object Editor.

Press +/ combination to insert an assigned text at cursor position which can be document, email and web page. Thus text (like signature, mail body, email-ids list,) can be entered repetitively. Note: It is recommended not to assign huge amount of text to Text option instead you can use Object.

Object

Object is same as that of Text and can be used in similar fashion. However “Text” option can be used for non-formatted text whereas “Object” can contain formatted text as well as objects like attachment, pictures, file etc.

In this example we try to re-program key “/” to assign text an object i.e. email content with attachment and insert it in new email. 1. Open KEYWIN window and click on “/” key, the configuration window will open showing task

options. Check “Enable Key” option and select radio button “Object”.

2. Enter or copy paste the object (in this case a message containing formatted text, picture and an attachment) into text box. If content is large and does not fit in the text box, click on “Expand the Text Box” to edit or view the object in Object Editor.

Open new mail message

and press +/ and you can see object assigned to key J is inserted.

Using Quick View

The Quick View Window can be Opened from KEYWIN Menu. You get a snap of many keys at a time and see if key is enabled / disabled or what is assigned to the key. You can double click on an item in the list and open the configuration setting for that key. Below is sample view you can see how the keys are programmed.

TIP: To figure out the existing key configuration just move the mouse pointer over key and a tooltip appears showing details.

e.g. In adjacent image we can see tooltip for key N, which has command “Notepad” is assigned.

KEYWIN Settings

Click on Settings button to view / modify KEYWIN Settings

Save Transparency Settings

KEYWIN has ability to change the Transparency of windows and it also can remember it for future. Check this option to save transparency setting for window, next time whenever you launch that particular window individual transparency setting is applied automatically.

Assume a situation when you need to refer one window and with that reference need to work in other window. So rather toggling between windows you can just increase transparency of the topmost window.

In this example we increased the Transparency of Calculator application. You can look through Calculator.

If Save Transparency Settings is checked. Next time Calculator will open with its own transparency level.

Different windows can have different transparency levels (i.e. more or less transparent) as assigned by user and KEYWIN can remember it for you.

Save Top Position Window Settings

KEYWIN has ability to make window topmost among rest of the windows. Check this option to save Top Position setting for window, next time whenever you launch that particular window Top Position setting is applied automatically.

In this example we made Calculator Topmost window. As an evidence you can see calculater floating on top of start menu bar and also while Document options selected in previouse windows explorer.

If Save Top Position Window Settings is checked. Next time Calculator will open as topmost window.

You can set window to topmost as many as you can and KEYWIN can remember it for you. This setting is useful when you want certain windows to float on top of all windows. E.g Chat window.

Note : Topmost and Transparency settings can be applied together to a window. e.g. Calculator in above case.

Calculator made Topmost

Calculator made Transparent

Turn Off monitor on workstation lock This is GREEN* feature of KEYWIN. Why we call it GREEN because it saves power. Check this option, if you want KEYWIN to turn off monitory (only) after you lock your workstation.

Turn Off monitor on screensaver start

This is another GREEN* feature of KEYWIN. Check this option if you want KEYWIN to turn off monitory (only) after screensaver starts. We recommend you to use these GREEN options and contribute to the green environment by saving power. *GREEN because it helps to save the power by turning off monitor automatically which is one of the biggest power consuming unit of any computer system and for laptops saving power increases the battery backup time.

So with KEYWIN next time whenever you lock your workstation you are saving some power and contributing towards the green environment.

Enable Virtual Desktop (MORE DESKTOPs) KEYWIN offers an excellent feature of virtual desktops i.e. your real desktop PLUS 3 more Virtual Desktops. Benefit of Virtual Desktops is you can run different applications in different desktops e.g. you can open work related windows in one desktop and social networking window in other desktop. You can switch between these desktops with key-press or selecting the desktop of choice from KEYWIN Menu.

Thus Virtual desktop offers an ability to segregate windows among desktops, ensure privacy of your work to some extent and optimum use of your computer system.

Gather windows from all desktops by selecting “Gather Desktops” option in KEYWIN menu.

Let’s understand with example (You may assign Virtual Desktop commands to keys of your choice.)

1. By default you are into “Real Desktop”. Right click on KEYWIN icon to confirm. Open MS Word.

2. Right click on KEYWIN icon and select “Virtual Desktop 2” from menu. Open MS Excel. You can see that MS Word running in “Real Desktop” is not visible (it is still running).

4. Right click on KEYWIN icon, select “Virtual Desktop 4” from menu. Open Notepad. You can notice that MS Word running in “Real Desktop” and MS Excel running in “Virtual Desktop 2” and MS PowerPoint running in “Virtual Desktop 3” is not visible (these are still running).

5. Now we go back to “Real Desktop” and select “Gather Desktops” from menu. This will gather (consolidate) all open

applications from other desktops together. You can see that MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and Notepad from different desktops together.

Note: Some exceptional applications may remain visible in all or few desktops

Using Battery Gauge

KEYWIN has innovative visual battery gauge which can be found out right below the task bar, a thin strip

having gradient of RED, YELLOW and GREEN color. Width of gauge represents the percentage battery

charged. i.e. when width of battery gauge is same as that of screen, battery is 100% charged.

Gradient color in gauge describes the urgency of charging your computer.

Until gauge ends with GREEN color you are good without charging. Refer above image.

When gauge ends with YELLOW color, you still have sufficient battery and it is good to charge.

Refer above image

When gauge ends with RED color, you are very close to drain out your battery anytime and you must

charge immediately. Refer above image

NOTE: Battery gauge will be shown automatically for battery operated computers like notebook /

laptop. However it will not be shown for desktop computers which do not have internal battery.
