Welcome to yyzTools Discussions 👋

Thanks for trying yyzTools! This is the place for questions, ideas and
sharing your setup. Bugs go to Issues
— anything else, post it here.

Quick answers

How do I open the command palette?
Press Alt+Space from anywhere in Windows.

How do I change the UI language?
Settings → Language. yyzTools ships in 12 languages: English, 简体中文,
繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Français, Deutsch, Español, Русский, العربية,
Português, Italiano.

What are the search prefixes (f␣, p␣ …)?
Type a prefix to switch the search domain — no need to remember what any
tool is called:

Prefix	Scope
(nothing)	App search — Win32 / UWP apps, system commands, settings
f␣	File search — instant full-disk search on a built-in indexing engine
p␣	Process manager — run / suspend / terminate / restart processes
w␣	Window manager — show / hide / pin / close open windows
b␣	Bookmark search — browser bookmarks, normal or private mode
c␣	Clipboard history — paste any past text or image back
>␣	Command line — run commands directly, with optional elevation
=␣	Instant calculator — results as you type, Enter to copy

How do I update?
The tray icon → Check for updates, or grab the latest installer from
https://www.yyztools.com.

Does it phone home?
No. Everything runs locally — no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry.

Is there a portable version?
Yes. Since v1.0.4 every release ships a portable .7z alongside the
installer — unzip it to any writable folder and run yyzTools.exe. All
data stays inside that folder, and online updates work the same way.
