Different than most modern launchers in that it can open a shell window for the file list by pressing Ctrl vs pop-up menu. This might be good for group editing. Has an integrated web search option by pressing Shift which can be adapted to your choice of web search, such as Perplexity ai. And of course, standard computer file search. Last release May 23, 2021.
KeyBreeze is now free and discontinued. Macro Recorder is now a separate download from the main program. Developer states hosting is costing more than sales of KeyBreeze. Personally ... swiss army knife type of apps just add to bloat. Not for me even now that it is free.
Website is full of marketing hype ... very little (if any) documentation. Installation includes ... Free, Pro and Pro Trial versions (by developer) ( A PORTABLE version would be handy) ... but website does not reveal price ... one hint on "Support" page ... $20 ? obviously if the dLoad includes PRO it must co$t something ... why the $ecrecy ? There is no versions comparison table.
Keybreeze is a Suite of various tools ...
Default installation installs everything; even opt-out to "extract" and not install, defaults to C:\ProgramFiles which is a unwise folder for extraction only. Be cautious and dont just blindly click NEXT, next, next, next ...
All the extras might suit some users ... but not for me they just add to bloat
