Between Dopus and learning AutoHotKey I'm running out hotkeys. let alone remembering What i set to Where or When or If WinActive!!! 
F1 thru F12 have been re-keyed\re-mapped (with multiple modifiers combos) exclusively for Dopus and Everything functions plus switching between them with one keypress!
This script is not a Dopus script, its written in AutoHotKey. I've set F1 to 1st open both Dopus & Everything, if they are not already open, and then 2nd toggle\switch between them, instantly, from anywhere! i love it! so fast and easy.
Should you decide to use this script you will loose the common "help" function of your F1 key, i almost never use common helps anyway. You could also map any key combo of your choice.
Here is the script if y'all want to play with it...

}
;In this script:
;If Everything (everything64.exe) is not already running, it will be launched.
;If Directory Opus (dopus.exe) is not already running, it will be launched.
;After ensuring both programs are running, the script toggles between them as before.
;Adjust the paths "C:\Path\To\everything64.exe" and "C:\Path\To\dopus.exe" to the actual paths where Everything and Directory Opus executables are located.
;Now, pressing F1 will toggle between Everything and Directory Opus, launching them if they are not already running.
