+# PowerShortcuts
+
+[![continuous](https://github.com/peterder72/PowerShortcuts/actions/workflows/continuous.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/peterder72/PowerShortcuts/actions/workflows/continuous.yml)
+
+A simple Windows program to add shortcuts that are criminally missing from Windows.
+Shortcuts heavily inspired by [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/).
+
+Currently only tested on my machine (Windows 11 23H2),
+may not (and probably will not) work on other versions due to the undocumented nature of the Virtual Desktop API.
+
+## Current Features
+
+- **No admin privileges** required!
+- **Tray icon** for easy access
+- Shortcuts for **lightning fast Virtual Desktop** operations.
+  - Alt+\<digit> to switch to desktop \<digit> 
+  - Alt+Shift+\<digit> to move window in focus to desktop \<digit>
+
+## Technical features
+
+- Written in **.NET 8.0**
+- Uses pre-compiled [VirtualDesktopAccessor](https://github.com/Ciantic/VirtualDesktopAccessor) binary for Virtual Desktop operations
+- Uses [nuke](https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke) for build automation
+- Undocumented Virtual Desktop switching COM API inspired by [pyvda](https://github.com/mrob95/pyvda)
+- Has a **simple installer**
+  - Adds a shortcut to the Start Menu
+  - Adds itself to **autostart**
+
+# Installation
+
+1. Download the latest .msi installer release from the [releases page](https://github.com/peterder72/PowerShortcuts/releases)
+2. Install the software by running the installer
+3. The software will **NOT** start automatically after installation (for now), so you can start it from the Start Menu
+
+## Why not AutoHotKey?
+
+Too non-verbose and too much of a hassle to write custom logic with DLL interop.
+I will need more complex functionality to be invoked by the shortcuts in the future, so AHK scripting will not do
+
+## Why not pyvda?
+
+Python in painfully slow (~1s to switch desktop), especially with AHK.
+Also, distribution and environment setup is a nightmare in Python.
+
+There's great support for COM and dll interop in .NET, and just by rewriting some of the pyvda code in C# 
+I was able to achieve a significant speedup in all operations.
+
+## Future plans
+
+- Pinning windows to all desktops
+- Plugin support for custom shortcut loading
+- Support for other Windows versions
