• Opens PowerShell with a specified folder path.
• Executes commands (e.g., php artisan serve, npm run dev) in the opened PowerShell window. For Laravel Purposes.
• Opens a new tab and splits it into multiple tabs to execute commands concurrently.
• Opens Visual Studio Code with the specified folder path.

• Python
• Visual Studio Code
• PowerShell
• pyautogui, pygetwindow, and subprocess Python modules

Make sure the necessary software is installed and accessible via the specified paths in the script.

1. Ensure that the required modules are installed (pyautogui, pygetwindow, subprocess).
2. Update the script with your preferred folder paths for the project, Visual Studio Code, and PowerShell.
3. Run the script using Python: python script.py.
4. Optionally, you can pass arguments to the script to customize folder paths:

python script.py --folder_path "your_folder_path" --vs_code_path "your_vs_code_path" --power_shell_title "your_power_shell_title"

1. Locate Your Python Script:
   • Ensure you know the full path to your Python script (e.g., C:\path\to\your\script.py).
2. Create a Shortcut:
   • Right-click on your desktop.
   • Navigate to New > Shortcut.
3. Specify the Script Path:

   • In the "Type the location of the item" field, paste the full path to your Python executable (e.g., "C:\path\to\python.exe") followed by the full path to your Python script (e.g., "C:\path\to\your\script.py"). and the args for the script

     To find where is located the python interpreter path:

     import os
     import sys
     os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

     Example:

     "C:\Users\Jonathan Pabon\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\pythonw.exe" "C:\Users\Jonathan Pabon\work" --folder_path "C:\Users\Jonathan Pabon\Documents\Dev\Tiendas\TVA"

     The args can be hardwritten in the script.

   • Click Next.

4. Name Your Shortcut:
   • Provide a name for your shortcut (e.g., "Work").
   • Click Finish.
5. Optional: Customize Shortcut Icon:
   • Right-click on the shortcut you created.

   • In the Shortcut tab, click on Change Icon....
   • Browse and select an icon for your shortcut (you can use the provided icon file or select from system icons).
   • Click OK to confirm.
6. Run Your Script:
   • Double-click on the desktop shortcut to execute your Python script with predefined configurations.

By following these steps, you can create a convenient desktop shortcut for launching your Python script with ease, improving your workflow efficiency in web development tasks.
