I currently have a single page in Rocketcake which runs full-screen in Firefox. I have various boxes on the screen and when I click on them the hyperlink opens a different site in the browser (new tab) - it works well. When I finish that site I just CTRL+W to close the tab to take me back to the original menu screen. Issue is that I have a need to run some other site links via Chrome and Edge - ie not the one Rocketcake is showing on; and there doesn't seem a way to do that - either to run an external shortcut, direct link or whatever. As an alternative, if the hyperlink could generate a hotkey, so I clicked on the box it generated "F9" for example, then I could make an .exe file using Autohotkey that would then open up a new browser. I would be grateful if there was a way to do this if someone could tell me how. Basically, when I click on a link on Rocketcake in my default browser, can that click either (1) run a different browser, (2) run an external .exe file (and not ask permission before running it, (3) generate a hotkey button press (eg F9). Thanks! |

It's not directly possible as far as I know, but on windows, you can force a link to be opened in edge by using the prefix microsoft-edge in front of your link, like this: microsoft-edge:https://www.example.com I don't think that's possible for other browsers, though. |

Thank you for the replies, appreciated. googlechrome:https://www.example.com - doesn't work - any other suggestion for Chrome please? Edge works however I can't get it to start full screen - I tried various combinations including --start-fullscreen . How could I get it to work (using the example above as microsoft-edge:https://www.example.com ) please - hopefully the answer will also get Chrome to start full screen too. |
