ControlPad
ControlPad can help turn the numeric keypad on your keyboard to a Windows command execution system - Execute any program, open any document, open any web address or send any series of keystrokes to the OS. It's easy to use, press and hold the * key on the numeric keypad, for about a second, enter any keyword or numeric code into the pop up window. Pressing the code followed by Enter will execute the associated command. Commands can be easily configured through this interface, and instead of numeric codes words can be used. For laptops (without a numeric keypad), there is a special Laptop Mode feature which uses F12 (press and hold) instead of * as the launch key. 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. ControlPad is equipped with a simple installer and uninstaller, does not register anything in the Windows registry.

If any of the above applies in the current software design, there is no need to apply design patterns in the current design and increase unnecessary complexity in the design. When to use Design Patterns? Design Patterns are particularly useful in one of the following scenarios. • When the software application would change in due course of time. • When the application contains source code that involves object creation and event notification. Benefits of Design Patterns: The following are some of the major advantages of using Design Patterns in software development. • Flexibility • Adaptability to change • Reusability What are Design Patterns?
