PowerOverlay is a utility to help speed repetitive tasks.

It is a configurable button menu of 24 buttons in a 5x5 grid. Each button can:

• Switch menu
• Perform one or more actions, such as:
  • Launch a program
  • Activate a window
  • Reposition a window (maximise, minimize, restore, fixed position, layout algorithm)
  • Send text to a window
  • Send keys, including control sequences to a window

Application windows can be targeted based on window title or application name or both.

Menus can be selected based on the current application when the overlay is activated (Win+F2).

Individual buttons can be styled or hidden.

Lots of configuration options. For example, for layout positioning:

Settings can be saved and loaded as JSON. Changes to the current state are automatically saved into a local cache and reloaded on launch.

First launch runs the overlay hidden. Subsequent launches bring the overlay to the foreground. A named menu can be provided as an argument.
