PowerToys, a productivity tool discovered on GitHub, was developed by a team at Microsoft. On GitHub marked star 44.2K, Win10 can be free to install a variety of enhanced new features, such as batch modification of file name and picture size, can be called the official “plug-in”.

This article was first promoted on my official account, and on the same day, this project was listed on the daily hot list. I will provide a link to download the artifact at the end of the article.

Because of the innate advantages of Microsoft pro son, compared with other tool applications, it more gracefully integrated into the Win10 system. At present, it mainly integrates 6 user high-frequency functions. I believe that with the iteration of the software, more awesome functions will be added.

Give you a brief introduction:

1. Screen color picker

The Color Picker is a quick and easy Color Picker. Just use the Win+Shift+C shortcut key, you can directly get the current screen content of any Color value. There are a variety of color formats for you to choose, I believe that the front-end or design partners will be useful.

Use preview:

2. Manage the desktop window layout

FancyZones is a powerful window layout manager that can re-partition your screen into 1, 2… Or even multiple smaller areas. Note that, unlike the native multi-window mode of Win10, it is very free.

First, press Win+~ to set the window layout. FancyZones has multiple built-in window layouts, and users can customize or modify the window Settings.

Then hold down the Shift key and drag the target window. As the window moves, the previously set blocks will light up one by one, and when the location is finally selected and the mouse is released, the window will be fixed to the current area.

And notice that the zoning is not rigid.

In addition to custom partition blocks, if you drag and drop an application between two blocks, it will take up all of the space of both blocks, and the application will scale itself like Windows native to Windows 10.

It also has the ability to move across screens, which is not common in this category, which will make it easier for those who work with multiple monitors.

3. Quick preview

Just press Alt+P in Explorer and click the file icon to preview the contents of the file. The current quick preview feature only supports quick previews of SVG images and Markdown documents, which is elegant but not enough. More file type support is expected in the future.

4. Rename files and change image sizes in batches

In daily life, we often have to do some simple processing of batch data. When I was doing image processing, I often wrote Python scripts to rename or modify a batch of data sets. This method was very inconvenient and quick.

Power Rename elegantly implements what I want, and even supports regular expressions, so mom doesn’t have to worry about my batch renaming anymore.

Bulk picture resizing is also supported.

5. Keyboard mapping management

If you’re a Mac OS/Windows dual-hold user, or if you’re fussy about the buttons in some games, Whatever your needs, system-level keyboard remapping may help you solve a lot of muscle memory problems.

Keyboard Manager allows you to remap individual keys or key combinations, which is convenient and easy to operate.

For example, if you want to remap keys A and B, do the following:

6. Win10 shortcut key guide

Old stroll think an excellent programmer, the essential basic quality is “to shortcut key skilled use” I saw a strange program

Member, if you don’t look at the code he wrote, the first thing to judge is: shortcut key play slip.

If the IDE or the operating system of all kinds of keyboard shortcuts are popping up, the first thing I think, well, this guy is most likely a productive person.

Long press Win key, will pop up Win10 shortcut guide, I believe that did not master Win10 shortcut keys you, is a good wulin secrets.

Even if you’re not a programmer, when you’re reinstalling a girl’s operating system, you’re going to have to give her a hard time.
