Description: RUNit is a simple but yet powerful launchpad. RUNit gives you quick access to applications, documents, folders and shortcuts. Unlike many other launchpads RUNit doesn't occupy any space on your screen - you only see it when you actually use it. RUNit defines a "hot area" on your screen where a click of the right mouse button makes the RUNit launch-menu appear .The "hot area" can be any border of the screen or even the whole screen. (you have to hold down the CRTL or SHIFT key while right clicking in "whole screen mode")

URL aware- links copied to clipboard can be instantly launched Has a "Load and Shoot" function to paste text anywhere Can float on top of other applications for fast pasting No size limits for "clippings" Prints any text clipboard entry, nicely word-wrapped This is a simple program to understand and use Has a global hotkey to make the application visible when hidden, and another to instantly show and select past "clippings" without showing the application. Clippings can be dragged and dropped to/from YCIII. Can strip unwanted "quote" characters from "clippings". Supports ordering of boilerplate items By popular request (They dragged me kicking and screaming...): the ability to "chirp" when a new clipping is detected. Just rename "clip.wav.Bak" to "clip.wav" or copy in the file of your choice and name it "clip.wav". You can now instruct YCIII to ignore pictures (METAFILES) from problematic apps such as MS Excel which copies metafiles of nearly infinite width to the clipboard when you select an entire row. This metafile isn't of much use at a later time anyway.
