- open launchy (Alt+space)
- open Options (Ctrl+`)
- go to Plugins tab
- select "Runner" from available plugins
- click the plus button to add a new runner and fill in the fields "name", "program" and "arguments"
- "name" -> whatever you want to type in launchy to start the conversation (eg. jacob)
- "program" -> the path to your pidgin.exe (eg.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Pidgin\pidgin.exe
) - "arguments" -> pidgin arguments (
--protocolhandler=xmpp:*jacob123*@gmail.com?message
)
That's it. Now when you run launchy and type in jacob (or whatever) it will open a conversation. The protocol handler above is for Google Talk. I've only ever tried it for talk. Gor anything else you'll have to figure out what the argument should be.
