Cuterm 2.0
While I was still in school I wrote a tool that I have used ever since. I got the idea from Simon, whom had written a similar tool. It’s a simple command-line tool that sits in the bottom-right corner of the screen and it’s called Cuterm.
The way it works is that you can type folder names, file names, URLs or user-defined commands and it will just run. So if you type an URL it will launch the default web browser and navigate to it. It also has a simple file browser built-in so if you can type a folder name and you can navigate from there to the file you were looking for.
It’s a really useful tool but it’s been ridden with bugs and weird side effects, so I decided to rewrite it in C++ (originally Delphi).
