Last time I wrote a cheat. Sh in hand, the world I have, partners are enthusiastic, think this is a good tool without impurities; Curl API is not a problem for Windows users. In order to “rain and rain”, today I will introduce a Windows super * N (N is, you read the article to determine their own) friendly tool

I was even a little jealous, as the Windows tool required me to combine several tools on the Mac to achieve comparable results

Today’s hero is ~~~~

PowerToys

PowerToys is such a powerful tool. The pre-installation requirements are very simple, Windows 10 operating system. As of this writing, the version of PowerToys Release is V0.25.0, open the release page and directly drag it to the bottom of the page. Download exe file

Install without any concern, choose an installation directory, no next step, until the end of the installation

Once installed, open PowerToys and you’ll see all the features of PowerToys in the left sidebar

Let’s take a look at each of these powerful tools

Color Picker

It literally translates to color extractor (I use Sip on the Mac) and should be standard for front-end engineers, as well as back-end engineers for blogging and graphics, if they need good color matching

Use the shortcut keys Win + Shift + C to slide the mouse to get the color. If the color distribution in a place is delicate, you can also zoom in and extract it by scrolling the mouse wheel. Support two color values (RGB | HEX).

FancyZones

It’s common for programmers to have multiple applications running at the same time, and it’s important to use the screen area wisely and quickly. For example, if you open up a Terminal, all it does is show us the log dynamically ina corner. In the past, we might have chosen to scale an application to a specified size, then drag and drop the word “trouble” into the appropriate position.

FancyZones is a very efficient window manager (I use SizeUp for Macs) that you can set to a template layout:

You can also customize the layout as you like:

Drag and drop your application to any window you like, use the Win+Left/Right Arrow shortcut to quickly move your application between multiple zones (set your own shortcuts if they conflict), FancyZones and other advanced Settings. Everyone according to their own preferences once configuration in place

File Explorer Preview

The Mac Finder comes with File Preview, but it does not have the ability to render and Preview files. File Explorer Preview provides this functionality by opening the Preview Pane, which is this:

File Explorer Preview currently supports rendering and previewing of three File types:

  • MarkDown
  • SVG
  • HTML

If you open an SVG file and edit the color area, CTRL + S will save and you can preview the new changes in real time

Image Resizer

To handle image sizes, use Preview on your Mac daily or find some online Resize tools. However, the absence of Image Resizer brings different challenges

  • Single image Resize
  • Batch multiple images Resize
  • Customize the Resize
  • Batch generate Resize after the picture file name

Just a picture of your own experience

Keyboard Manager

Keyboard manager redefines keyboard shortcuts. When multiple application shortcuts conflict, it is not a mess to centrally manage them here. You can remap not only global shortcuts, but also application shortcuts

I don’t know if the shortcut keys for playing the game will be remapped, you can try it

PowerRename

As the name suggests, this is a renamed feature, so where is Power? Let’s look at the GIFs

With the use of the following Options, it is really powerful and flexible, which is Power

File renaming also dynamically supports a number of variables, which you can see by yourself

PowerToys Run

When we are looking for an application, we need to find the picture on the desktop. If it is commonly used, we can locate it. If it is not commonly used, we need to find it for a while. It’s even more difficult to find a file or folder. PowerToys Run was designed to address this pain point (I use Alfred for Mac). I know plugins like UTools have similar features, but PowerToys Run and Windows are much more streamlined

Do daily addition, subtraction, multiplication and division without opening a calculator

All you have to do is press Alt+Space

Shortcut Guide

This is a common keyboard shortcut to display the use of the Windows key. It is very simple to use. Hold down the Windows key for about 1 second and it will display a shortcut to use with the Windows key. No more TAB to TAB (I use cheatsheet and PopClip in Mac)

Look at the right side of the picture, there must be a shortcut key function that you don’t know, isn’t it convenient?

Video Conference Mute (Experimental)

This is a pre-release function. Affected by the epidemic, many partners still work remotely at home, and video conference has become a means of daily communication. Problems that can be solved by Shouting in the office should be explained on the line. It is inevitable that there will be some parallel tasks at the moment, and video and voice will certainly interfere with each other. Therefore, flexible switching or mute is a very powerful function, and the self-setting shortcut keys can be:

conclusion

Github has commented that these PowerToys features could even be built into Windows in the future. It’s not clear if that will happen. At least for now, we can enjoy the convenience of these features. If you have A Windows 10 operating system, you can experiment, believe that this tool will make you a lot more efficient

When introducing PowerToys tools, I also included Mac tools in the article. Do you think this is ok? Personal blog: https://dayarch.top
