keyboard shortcut to quick options - not

This didn't seem possible within UR so I used a 3rd party macro program to accomplish this. Did I miss this possibility within UR?

Yes, of course, but to be helpful in this case, you're going to have to be more specific as I didn't see an option for the entire Quick Options Menu before I posted. If you do, maybe you (or anyone) could point it out to me. Thank you.

To get at the drop-down menu itself, just use Alt+T, Q. To assign a keyboard shortcut to a specific option, select Tools in the Category drop-down of the Customize dialog, then select the appropriate Quick Options item.

Thank you. I was trying to set up a combo keystroke, example <WIN>Q to substitute for <ALT>+T, Q. It doesn't look possible. Not a big deal at all.

But while I have your attention, I want to set a reminder to automatically start another program via UR. Is this possible? If so, what's the syntax? I assume it goes into the URL attribute....yes, no?

Or would it be more efficient to go directly to Windows Scheduler?

A UR reminder can't start a program automatically. Once the reminder fires and the item is opened from the Reminder dialog, if the item is a Windows shortcut to an application, you could use Ctrl+J to launch it, but to run a program at scheduled times with no user intervention, Scheduled Tasks would be the way to go.

not sure why is this task dependent on an UR reminder vs. a pre-set time you can control with a scheduler. But if, for some reason, you have to, you can simply write a macro to launch this task whenever UR's reminder becomes active. Most macro's app I've used have a macro trigger that is 'when window is active'. I think once UR trigger a reminder, it becomes active.
