How do I execute a powershell script by a shortcut key?
To execute a PowerShell script using a shortcut key, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut in Windows to run the PowerShell script file (.ps1). Here's how you can do it:
Create a PowerShell script: Create a PowerShell script that you want to execute. Save it with a
.ps1
file extension. For example,myscript.ps1
.Create a shortcut to the PowerShell script: Right-click on the desktop or in any desired location, go to "New," and select "Shortcut." In the "Create Shortcut" dialog, browse to the location of the PowerShell executable (
powershell.exe
). By default, it is located atC:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
. Provide the path to the PowerShell executable and add the-File
parameter followed by the path to your script file. For example:arduino"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -File "C:\Path\to\myscript.ps1"
Click "Next" and provide a name for the shortcut, such as "Run MyScript."
Set a shortcut key: Right-click on the shortcut you created and select "Properties." In the "Properties" dialog, click on the "Shortcut key" field and press the desired key combination for your shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+R). The key combination should appear in the field. Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the changes.
Execute the script using the shortcut: Press the specified key combination (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+R) to execute the PowerShell script. This will launch PowerShell and run the script.
With these steps, you have created a custom keyboard shortcut to execute your PowerShell script using the specified key combination. When you press the shortcut key, the PowerShell script will be executed.
