JumpTo – Best Context Menu Launcher
There are many launchers, which save you time and make you work faster with keyboard shortcuts. Yes again I’m talking about launchers, since they are the heart of a power user’s computer experience most power users can not live without a launcher of some kind, may it be a mouse based or a keyboard based one.
My favorite launcher when using keyboard is FARR (Find And Run Robot). FARR is absolutely a pleasure to use and fun too and it saves me a ton of time going through the start menu. I really love FARR when it comes to keyboard launchers.
Other types of launcher I prefer to keyboard based ones are the ones which launch folders and applications using a context menu entry. This is very useful if you are using a mouse all the time. Previously I was using FolderGuide which was simply superb except for a minor drawback, it only adds your folders as links in the context menu it doesn’t support adding applications, files and links.
This is where JumpTo comes in handy, I like to think JumpTo as a more complete version of FolderGuide. JumpTo fills in all the gaps left by FolderGuide and I’m happy to say that JumpTo works really well too. It does what I expect out of all software, It puts a smile on your face.
This will also give you the ability to use the keyboard launch facility similar to FARR as it has a run box which allows use for the keyboard lovers.
Another thing I like about this is that its all self contained it does not write anything to your registry, or write anything out of its own program folder.
