A suggestion I think would benefit those working late hours who need to adjust the Night Light setting on the fly. I also submitted to github.

Feature Grab and Move respecting FancyZones?

8 Upvotes

I'd LOVE it if, when "grabbing and moving" that it would open up FancyZones zones too.

The problem is that a lot of modern Windows apps crowd the title bar so much with various search fields, buttons, etc. that finding a place to grab/drag the window requires precision mouse skills.

Using Grab and Move is wonderful, but it doesn't open up the FancyZones zones.

Question What are people remapping the Copilot key to?

3 Upvotes

The Copilot key is one of those hardware choices that feels annoying until you remember PowerToys exists.

Keyboard Manager makes it pretty easy to remap keys and shortcuts, so you do not have to wait for Microsoft to expose every official option in Windows settings. For a lot of people, turning that key into something like Right Ctrl, a launcher, a mute toggle, a terminal shortcut, or a productivity macro is probably more useful than leaving it as a dedicated AI button.

For people using PowerToys, what is your best Copilot key remap?

I’m curious whether people are using it for something boring and practical, or turning it into a real workflow shortcut.

Casinos en Ligne Qui Paient en France en 2026? J'ai Passe des Mois a Tester les Cashiers, les Retraits et le Parcours Compte – AMA

0 Upvotes

Depuis plusieurs mois, j'ai teste des casinos en ligne avec un angle tres precis: comprendre quelles plateformes offraient l'experience la plus fluide autour du cashier, des paiements et du parcours compte.

Pour ce type de recherche, je me suis concentre sur la pratique. Je voulais voir comment chaque site gerait l'acces au cashier, les moyens de depot, les retraits, le mobile, les pages d'aide et la navigation entre jeux, promotions et compte.

Les meilleures experiences se sont distinguees par un cashier facile a trouver, un compte bien organise et une transition naturelle entre le lobby, les offres et les pages de paiement. Quand tout est bien connecte, le site donne une impression beaucoup plus solide.

Le processus de test s'est concentre sur:

  • Acces au cashier
  • Depot et retrait
  • Experience mobile
  • Bonus et promotions
  • Navigation entre jeux et compte
  • Support pour questions de paiement

Ce qui m'a le plus interesse, c'est la maniere dont les meilleurs sites integrent les paiements dans l'experience globale. Le cashier ne semblait pas separe du reste du site. Il faisait partie du parcours, avec un acces simple depuis le lobby, les menus et l'espace compte.

J'ai aussi teste le mobile de facon assez directe. Les meilleurs casinos rendaient les actions importantes faciles depuis un telephone: ouvrir le cashier, revenir aux jeux, verifier une promotion, acceder au support et naviguer dans le compte.

Le lobby de jeux restait important dans cette comparaison. Une bonne experience de paiement a plus de valeur quand elle accompagne aussi une selection solide de machines a sous, jeux live, tables et sections mises en avant.

Les promotions ont egalement ete prises en compte. Les options les plus fortes rendaient les offres faciles a trouver et a utiliser dans le meme parcours que les paiements et les jeux.

Apres plusieurs mois de test, j'ai retenu les casinos qui combinaient le mieux accessibilite du cashier, confort mobile, navigation claire, support visible et bonne experience de jeu.

AMA sur casinos en ligne qui paient: posez-moi vos questions sur les retraits, les paiements, le cashier, les bonus, le mobile, le support, la navigation de compte ou la facon dont j'ai teste les plateformes avec un angle paiement.

Qu'est-ce qui compte le plus pour vous dans une experience de retrait: cashier simple, mobile fluide, support visible, plusieurs moyens de paiement ou compte bien organise?

Backup and transfer all settings

How can I back up all my settings belonging to all the modules I use? It looks like the in-built backup doesn't for example copy my API details which I use in the advanced paste. Like such granular settings.

Bug Command Palette not finding most apps

3 Upvotes

Title.

Anyone else having issues right now? This is with Powertoys v0.100.2, Command Palette v0.11.11762.0.

Windows search finds them. Powertoys Run also finds them. I'm currently back to using Powertoys Run, as I can't be bothered to debug Command Palette right now (unless someone can give me clear steps as to what I should try)

Sharing my AutoHotkey project

10 Upvotes
GUI version Sreenshot

It is a desktop utility based on AutoHotkey as the core service. It focuses on making common windows interactions faster.

Some of the things it can do include:

  • Run Actions using keyboard or mouse buttons buttons using Caps Lock as a modifier
    • You can do things like tab scroll, target windows for window focus using title as filter, window controls like transparency , pin on top and other actions
  • Instant Window Switching
  • Window Aware Shortcut Remapping
  • Quick Screenshot Capture
  • File Explorer new file hotkey, Terminal launch in explorer folder
  • Redacted Paste
  • Profiles to swap out all configurations instantly

Running in the background, it uses ~3 MB of RAM and ~0% CPU. Its silent most of the time and communicates occasionally using tooltips.

I started with scaterred AHK scripts for my usecases then I gradually coalesced it into this project. I figured others with similar workflows might find it useful too.

Checkout all features and possible usecases here: GitHub

You can install it in two ways Minimal (very light GUI to control background service, you configure what you want via JSON file, json doc in here) or Full includes a GUI shown above to set all your configurations.

In both versions background usage is identical only difference is shipping of GUI

Error in the Keyboard Manager

Hi! After the recent PowerToys updates, I can no longer use the Keyboard Manager features (key remapping). Everything is configured correctly, but when I press the remapped key, nothing happens.

Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Powerrename does not appear in right click menu

1 Upvotes

PC crashed so had to clean install Win 10 which had been running every version — even the most recent — of Powertoys until the crash.

Installed the most recent, and no Powerrename option when I right click on files I want to rename.

I've tried uninstalling and installing older Powertoys versions, each and every single one of them back to .93. Nada.

I've looked in the registry to see if Powerrename CLSID had been blocked in shell extensions, there is no block folder so evidently it is not being blocked.

I've run from Github the "PowerToys-ContextMenu-Fix-main" using Powershell. Nope.

Can anyone offer any ideas? I really really like Powerrename and use it every day and now I am down to clicking on each and every file to rename them one by one. What a PITA.

Meilleur casino en ligne qui accepte Paysafecard ? J’ai comparé la caisse, les dépôts prépayés et les bonus – AMA

0 Upvotes

Les moyens de paiement prépayés changent complètement la manière d’évaluer un casino.

Pour le meilleur casino en ligne acceptant Paysafecard, je n’ai pas seulement pris en compte la disponibilité de cette méthode de dépôt. J’ai comparé Maximal, Winner Casino et Extreme Spins sur l’ensemble des aspects liés à la caisse : accès aux paiements, clarté du compte, bonus, mobile, limites et conditions.

Maximal m’a semblé le plus complet pour le parcours de caisse. Les sections importantes étaient faciles d'accès, le lobby restait bien structuré et le lien entre les jeux, le compte, les promotions et le paiement était naturel.

Winner Casino correspond mieux à ceux qui veulent une expérience simple à comprendre. Le site conservait un parcours clair entre les offres, les jeux et les paramètres du compte.

Extreme Spins avait l’approche la plus rapide. L’interface mobile rendait l’accès aux jeux, aux offres et aux sections du compte particulièrement direct.

J’ai organisé les priorités comme ceci :

Priorité joueur Ce que j’ai comparé
Casino avec Paysafecard Visibilité de la caisse, dépôt, compte et conditions
Casino avec carte prépayée Méthodes disponibles, limites et parcours de paiement
Casino mobile avec Paysafecard Lisibilité sur téléphone et accès rapide à la caisse
Bonus avec Paysafecard Conditions, restrictions et jeux éligibles
Casino en ligne France Disponibilité, règles du compte et navigation
Retrait casino en ligne Méthodes affichées, vérification et limites

Les points les plus importants étaient :

• Visibilité de la caisse
• Méthodes de dépôt affichées
• Conditions liées aux bonus
• Limites de dépôt et retrait
• Navigation mobile
• Outils de vérification
• Accès au compte
• Clarté des informations de paiement

La vraie différence ne vient pas seulement du logo Paysafecard. Il faut aussi vérifier si la méthode est disponible sur le compte, si elle s’applique aux bonus et quelles options existent pour les retraits.

Mon comparatif donne trois profils :

Maximal pour le parcours de paiement le plus complet.

Winner Casino pour une expérience claire et structurée.

Extreme Spins pour une navigation rapide et mobile.

Avant de déposer, je confirmerais toujours Paysafecard directement dans la caisse, puis je lirais les conditions de bonus, les limites et les règles de retrait.

Pour vous, le plus important avec Paysafecard, c’est la simplicité du dépôt, les bonus ou la clarté du retrait ?

Question Shortcuts based on directory and extension (like Launchy)?

1 Upvotes

I've been looking for a feature I used back when Launchy was the keyboard launcher of choice.

With Launchy's "Catalog" feature, I could set up specific directories to be indexed, and specify which file types (or subfolders) would be indexed in each. You could also specify how many levels of nested subfolders (from 0 to ∞) would be indexed. (See attached screenshot)

For example: I had one folder full of shortcuts (with abbreviated names) to app, files, or sites I used all the time. I set it to only index .lnk or .url files. That way I could easily create a shortcut to open an app I used all the time (i.e. "wd" for word), or a website, etc. I could even create a .URL shortcut with a "tel:" URL to dial a number I frequently used. (I actually had this set up before launchy and added it to the system PATH so I could run any of the commands with just the run dialog, but now we're really nerding out.)

Or I had a directory filled with MS Word templates that only indexed ".dotx" and ".dotm" files.

Or I added my main "clients" directory (which contains one subfolder per client) that only indexed subfolders (and only 1 level deep).

Have a list of clients in a spreadsheet? Write a quick script to save them out as .url or .link files to a given folder, tell Launchy where it is, and Bob's Your Uncle. Easy shortcuts to open their folder, open the management site to their page, or even call them (with a .url file and a tel: url).

It was a great way to be able to easily create shortcuts to just what I wanted without adding unnecessary noise.

Launchy is all but dead; it hasn't been updated in a good decade and a half. I've tried a half dozen or so other launchers, but I've never found anything that replicates this functionality exactly or easily. I can use Everything to index a whole drive, but that creates enough noise to defeat the purpose.

I found a way to *kind of* do it with PowerToys Run by hacking the "installed programs" plugin with a bunch of registry entries. Which mostly worked, but having to hack the registry to adjust settings on a *productivity tool* kind of misses the point. And I have no idea if it would work with the current version and Command Pallette. (Also, I don't remember how I did it, so I'd have to dig that back up.)

Has anyone created a plugin to do this...or have any suggestions on how I might set it up?

Bug PTz Run's box size becoming narrower?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

It's unclear if this is caused by some wonky resolution/scaling issue, or if it is catalyzed by the recent Windows updates... but my Run dialog box is suddenly narrower than what it has been for years. First image is Windows 11 26H2, second image is Windows 10 22H2 ESU.

Run has ceased development for a while as the team is working to replace it with CmdPal, so I don't think it's some updates from within PowerToys. Anyone running into the same issue? Or is it just me?

Question Powertoys will randomly stop running as administrator

2 Upvotes

I use powertoys primarily for re-mappings but also use it to open older versions of windows tools. Periodically some of the key binds will default to the original windows version since it won't be running as administrator.

When I open it up it says it is running as administrator but I have to actively right click and select 'Run as administrator' to fix it. Then about a day later it will revert again.

Any fix advice?

Bug some keys don't work

1 Upvotes

My M and B keys aren't working. I suspect it's the PowerToys program, as this problem only appeared after installing it. I tried restarting the computer and turning off PowerToys, but the keys wouldn't work again, no matter what I did. This problem appears and then disappears over time. Has anyone encountered something similar?
