Mike PS Shortcuts: npp shortcuts are windows based. One would need to add OS X based shortcuts like "/usr/bin/open -a Firefox http://www.google.com", which would open a specific URL with Firefox. This used to be pretty simple, as Wines "cmd" would transparently execute it. But since 1.6, one has to symlink OS X commands to windows/system32 first. http://www.kronenberg.org http://notepad-plus-plus.org http://www.winehq.org About WineBottler and Wine WineBottler packages Windows-based programs like browsers, media-players, games or business appli­ca­tions snugly into Mac app-bundles.
