New Launchy 2.5 (beta) now available for download

Launchy is a very good application for Windows and Linux that lets you launch documents, files, folders, or bookmarks just with a few keystrokes.

Launchy is similar to Windows 7’s Search box function, so I think it is more suitable for Windows XP users. However Launchy offers more than that of Windows 7 or Vista search feature.

A new version of Launchy is now available (2.5 beta) and offers following new features:

Faster performance
Icons displayed correctly
Environment variables updated correctly when system changes
Controly includes more items

New controls: Shift+tab or Shift+bkspc deletes previous tab
Shift+Ctrl+Enter launches in elevated mode (Vista and Win7)
Down arrow shows history (when there is no current search text)
Default skin built into executable in case no other skin is found
Launchy now has an icon in the system tray

Interested users can download beta version of Launchy 2.5 from here. More information.
