QuickOpen

Keyboard shortcut (eg RAmiga+O) integrating 'open' command with a pop-up requester.
Quick & friendly way to use the 'open' command to open URLs, assigns, paths, applications, images, etc (No scary cli) from Ambient.

NB - Not a global hotkey, only works from Ambient.

This is a simple little tweak, but needs MUIRequeststring from Aminet to be installed:

RMB>Settings>Ambient>Keyboard>Custom Command Hotkeys
Add a Hotkey.
Name 'QuickOpen'
Hotkey 'rcommand o'
Edit command (opens Action Editor window)
Add an action:
Type 'AmigaDOS'
Command string 'execute s:quickopen' (Make sure to press enter!)
Uncheck all boxes
Click 'OK' to close Action Editor window
Click 'Save' to close Ambient Settings window

Save the following as an executable script in s:quickopen

(assumes you have muirequeststring in sys:c )

--------------------------------------------------

c:muirequeststring TITLE "Open.." BODY "Enter path or URL (max length 255 characters)" >env:quickopen
open $quickopen
delete >NIL: env:quickopen
;have a beautiful time!
