This App Makes WINDOWS So Much Better! 

the whole thing is useless. they dont let you use a single key to do stuff. cant be bothered to press a bunch of keys ill never remember

@@Blox117 there's a very limited amount of keys on the keyboard and most of them have something that's supposed to happen when you press them Having one-key shortcuts won't work Git gud

@@Soguwe sorry that youre poor and cant afford more keys. hope it gets better bud

@@Blox117 how's the weather under your bridge?

​@@Blox117memory issue and skill issue 😂

A lot of the utilites in powertoys are/were actually from third party, they're credited on the software, it's so cool

Character Map, on Windows. Keycaps on Mac.

​@@JV-pu8kx Still not as fast as the new feature, you'll have to search for it if you can't remember the placement. I use Adobe Illustrator regularly and it has the Glyphs map feature too, and it is way worse with actual CJK typefaces where there's thousands of Kanji characters.

Run isnt power toys specific. You get it with windows automatically.

@@aliarslan752 I didn't mean Run called via Win+R, I meant PowerToys Run. It's different. It's like a combination of global search plus usual windows Run. And some other neat features peppered in, like an ability to quickly calculate stuff, search the web, use tags to search by specific categories, run commands, etc.

Sure you do.. but PowerToys Run is so much more than that. And it does a better job than the shitty search module in Windows.

just so you know, run uses same search indexer as windows search

@@LaxmannDhotre While it uses the same indexer, the results are much more consistent and relevant. Plus, it's faster.

another prod in cyber👍

Microsoft sucks too much nowadays to even remember about that

What about dragging an explorer window to the left side and then doing the same thing and dragging the second window to the right side ? Both windows will snap to their places.

yeah, its quicker and easier to set up than to crop it manually on OBS

regex is cool, thanks for the tip

Still limited. I use Advanced Remaner and it lets you write your own script for more complex file re-naming.

yep especially when websites won't let you copy or highlight the text.

@@AutoSia Exactly it's very annoying when they do that. Even have a text extractor on my phone very nice too

For real or else i would have been using it all day, other than that its actually great.

faster first word latency Ram modules and higher capacity in dual channels and gen 5 nvme

@@high-captain-BaLrogwhat?

You can use PowerToys on Win 10 as well. Cheers

​@@user-ip3zi5mb6lyou know it's not as simple as that for most users lol

PowerToys was originally for Windows 95...

OCR (the technology for extracting text) technically has been around in Windows for many years at this point. It always has been accessible for developers to use from the WinAPI, but it's just one of many functionality that does exist in the OS but not officially used in any program by Microsoft themselves...

although cropped window doesnt refresh the image of META TRADER, sadly =(

I've been using PowerToys for a couple of years on an old dual core 2 thread PC from 2013 and I gotta say it doesn't take a lot of resources. Sure there are some minor hiccups when you use a lot of apps or play games with it but it's not noticeable if you're using a PC with like 4 CPU threads. For my old PC it maybe around 1% CPU usage but for PCs with better CPUs the usage is lower than 1% (task manager will just show 0%). As for RAM, I rarely see it go above 200MB to 400MB. Pretty sure many people have good enough PCs nowadays so the performance impact is just negligible or nothing. Oh extra note: the CPU usage is when it's doing nothing in the background, just waiting for user interaction. When you use its features, the CPU usage is quite reasonable. Uses as much CPU as Windows main UI when you do something like open the start menu or action centre.

@@RtqoopbFl9WpIP9fULuihzt6Sk4t9u Great info, thx. Will try it out.

I’m not running any custom theme. It’s just a dark wallpaper, and all the UI elements are set to have a dark tone themselves. Regarding the searching, assuming you’re referring to the first scene in the video, it is a search launcher that comes with PowerToys.
