LemonLaunch Utility - Launch via Keyboard or Voice/Speech

[AfterLemon]

LemonLaunch - Launch Websites, Programs, Searches via Keyboard or Voice/Speech

This is essentially an AHK-built desktop awesomebar. No extra stuff, just good clean searching as small and as fast as possible.

TO RUN:

Hit your hotkey as set in the LemonLaunchSettings.ini to launch the interface. Type the search item ("g" for example), then hit Tab, or put in your separator ("|" by default), then type the search.

It should look like (spaces before the separator and a single after are ignored):
g | searchdata

Then hit enter and it will search google for "searchdata".

Default search is "g" -> Google

To run a program or computer location or visit a website directly, do NOT supply any search data.
g |

That's it! Enjoy.

An updated version can be seen here:

All screenshots are using both the Trans Setting and the ColorMatch. The text matches the inverse of the background on which it is placed.

Version 1.5

A screenshot would be nice, AfterLemon

Like I used to say: "No pics, No clicks." it's true you know

[AfterLemon]

While Pictures would be nice, it's really not very possible.Pictures are up! The full extent of the utility is that while not in use it's invisible, but in use it's only the text you're typing. I can take come screenshots of the history gui and it in use, but it is still not much to "see". The point of it is quick, clean, no-real estate searching. Give it a try!

Version 1.6

CHANGES:

Gist updated with History, Settings, Exit, and Reload functions. They are run the same way as the direct, but are built-in.

Added 2 more options to the Setup section in the LemonLaunchSettings.ini to allow for Color Matching and Transparency for the History Gui.

Version 1.61

CHANGES:

No default search. - Search is no longer built-in but a setting in the LemonLaunchSettings.ini

Version 1.62

BUG FIX:

Between 1.5 and 1.6 some setting changed and it bork'd a couple things. It's working again, whatever it was. Sorry!

Version 1.8

New Features:

Hotkey-Activated voice search and launch.

How to use Voice Search and Launch:

Spoiler

Each "search" item is pre-pended with the word "search".
To search Google, for example, hit the hotkey, then wait for the prompt and finishing "beep". The beep signals the script is ready for recognition.
Say "search Google" and wait for the secondary prompt and beep. Then speak your search. Currently enunciation and proper language is essential. (There are no slang terms included in the Microsoft Speech API.)

Each "direct" item can be stated as normal.

This is pretty cool!

I'm using the default settings but nothing comes up when I hit Win+g. I can type a search, press enter and google will pop up with what i typed but no gui appears. Is this normal?

I'm using windows 7

[AfterLemon]

This is probably a simple confusion.

In order to test the script working on any configuration I can do here, I have the default location at -200 x.
This means that if you do NOT have a "secondary" monitor to the left of your primary, it will be OFF the left side of the screen.

All it takes to fix it is modifying the .ini file and moving the location to fit inside your screen.
