PowerToys for Windows 10

After playing with PowerToys for Windows 10, I'd recommend it. It will make the life much easier for the developers. For instance, PowerRename is really handy and powerful which support regular expression renaming. I also tested FancyZones. If you have many console windows open, Fancy Zones will help you manage your windows easily.

PowerToys for Windows 10 comes with the following utilities:

  • Color Picker adds a tool for HEX and RGB color identification.
  • FancyZones adds a window manager that makes it easier for users to create and use complex window layouts.
  • File Explorer Preview Panes adds SVG and Markdown previews to File Explorer.
  • Image Resizer adds a context menu to File Explorer for resizing images.
  • Keyboard Manager adds options for remapping keys and shortcuts.
  • PowerRename adds an option for users to rename files using search and replace or regular expression in File Explorer.
  • PowerToys Run adds a Spotlight-like tool that allows users to search for folders, files, applications, and other items.
  • Shortcut Guide adds a full screen overlay that allows the user to view the windows key shortcuts available in the current window.
Don't take my words. Try it yourself. Search "PowerToys" after installing PowerToys.
