ControlPad turns the numeric keypad on your keyboard to a Windows command execution system. You may configure any numeric code to: Execute any program, open any document, open any web address or send any series of keystrokes to the operating system.
ControlPad превращает цифровую клавиатуру на клавиатуре в Windows команд системы. Любой цифровой код может быть назначен для выполнения любой программы, открытия документа, веб адреса.

Once 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.
Usage
ControlPad was designed to be operated entirely from the numeric keypad.
* Press and Hold the * key to activate the input window.
* Enter a numeric code then press the / key to add a new command.
* Enter a numeric code then press the Enter key to execute a command.
* Enter several codes separated by + to execute several commands.
* A command may be anything you can run from the Windows Run dialog (programs, documents, web addresses) or any series of simulated keystrokes (e.g. Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V).

If you are using a laptop (without a numeric keypad), you may configure ControlPad to use different keys to launch the code window.
Customization

ControlPad is highly customizable. You can:
* Configure the location of your commands file - for easy backup.
* Change almost every aspect of the user interface (colors, transparency, size, font).
* Change sounds / add your own sound sets.

Как только программа запущена, нажмите и удерживайте клавишу * на цифровой клавиатуре около секунды, в это время появится небольшое окно, позволяющее Вам вводить цифровой код. Команда будет выполнена после нажатия клавиши Еnter.
Чтобы назначить команду, введите после цифрового кода знак деления.
