The only reason it is not open source is because they know someone could easily make it much better than it already is. As for the hotkey I had one of the earlier releases, and it is possible that it was my keyboard (sadly my G15 was dying). @Tjoakim

Executor is great! The hotkey works all the time! The idea is excellent and so is the design, very powerful and useful program! @Nic Moon

The hotkey never works! Horrible design, horrible idea, horrible everything. Just use some launchy plugins to get it to do what you want. Executor is amazingly awful! The hotkey never works!

So I switched to Enso just to test it out and it's pretty good. I used a lot of different launchers, but I haven't really found one I really liked until launchy, but clearly using that is an issue now.
