Launch Google Keep Chrome app with Launchy

The new Chrome app for Google keep is available in the Chrome web store now. Grab it now and it will install like any other Chrome app. The difference is that when you click the Google Keep icon it will start up as a separate window and not in a tab as usual. I find it very slow and cumbersome to access the app like that, I would rather use Launchy or maybe the Windows key to launch the app.

Here is how to do that:

1. Install Google Keep for Chrome
2. Right click the Google Keep launch icon that was created in Chrome.

3. Now select the option you want. Putting it in the start menu is enough for Launchy to pick it up.

4. Open Launchy and force a reload of the catalogue from the settings or wait for Launchy to pick up the change on it's own.
5. Press alt + space to launch Laucnhy and type in "keep". Thi is what you will get

6. Just press enter and the Google Keep Chrome app launches as any other app on your system.

This way you can get to the Keep app much quicker than through Chrome. An Google Keep is all about capturing things quickly.

A very simple tip but it will save you a lot of time.
