Chromy: Chrome Launcher Plugin

In this post I share a Chrome Plugin for a Launcher e.g. Executor (my preferred one) or Launchy.
(It is implemented in AutoHotkey but shared as small executable.)

About

Chromy allows you to trigger the Chrome Command bar from your Application Launcher, means without having to open a Chrome window.

Download

You can download the .exe here Chromy.exe 

Usage

Simply add a keyword in your Launcher redirecting to the Chromy.exe



You can also pass a specific Profile to be used. Pretty useful if you redirect to a Chrome extension only installed in one Chrome Profile.



Simply add as second argument "Profile name" between quotes e.g. above "n $P$" "Profile 1" (n is the keyword used by the Chrome Extension)
Hint: You can see the name of the profile by opening chrome://version/ in Profile Path.

Source

Source code is available here: ahk/Chromy.ahk
