Lee Holmes has made available a proof of concept version of his Background Shell — a simple PowerShell host that runs in the background and can execute script based on global hotkeys …
In all honestly, this is pretty cool, and even cooler if you tie in some features like WASP to automate regular windows tasks. I was actually planning on releasing a global-hotkey cmdlet built into PoshConsole to allow you to do basically the same thing as this, but I’ve been holding off because I need a month or two more on my current project before I can get back to really working on PoshConsole, and I wanted to use the release of this stuff as a springboard to rekindle interest.
Anyway, go get BgShell … and lets hear some ideas about what could be done with it!
