search the start menu before discarding a typed command
Posted: Tue 25 Jun, 2013 05:01
I asked if FAR can be used as a launch alternative, and it seems that right now this isn't quite possible: http://forum.farmanager.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8042
So, I am posting it as an idea: Instead of echoing the message 'x' is not recognized as an internal or external command etc, search the start menu and if you find a menu item equal to the same command, execute it. You can also use the start menu items for auto completion. I'm on XP but I am sure this can be used for Windows 8's start tiles as well.
This would make FAR a great alternative to launchers and bring more people.
