Submitted by scriptdaemon on November 13, 2012 - 11:00pm

logoControlPad Portable 0.72 has been released. ControlPad turns the numeric keypad on your keyboard to a Windows command execution system, letting you run apps, open documents or execute Windows commands. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. ControlPad is freeware for business and personal use.

ControlPad is packaged with permission from Sector Seven

Update automatically or install from the portable app store in the PortableApps.com Platform.

Features

ScreenshotOnce ControlPad is running, press and hold the * key on the numeric keypad, for about 1 second. At this point, a small window will pop up, allowing you to enter any keyword or numeric code. Pressing the code followed by Enter will execute the associated command. Commands are easily configured through the same interface - activate the input dialog (press and hold *), enter the desired code and press the numpad Divide button to associate a new command. You may also use words instead of numeric codes. For laptop users (without a numeric keypad), there is a special Laptop Mode feature which will use F12 (press and hold) instead of * as the launch key.

The Name line is incorrect in the database. It's currently ControlPade Portable, should be ControlPad Portable.

Thanks for catching that typo.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks for your work on this, Kenny. I made some changes to your launcher's INI to better handle portability of paths to associated apps and the like.
