The compressed files qliner zip produces are smaller, and its compression and decompression is faster than that of most other compression tools. On top of it all qliner zip is free and open source software.
Getting started
Qliner zip requires qliner hotkeys. Get the latest version here. Download qliner zip here, and install it (extract the .KeyboardTool file, right-click and select install).
You need to configure keys (bring up the keyboard by using Win + Z or by holding the Windows key for several seconds, right click the key you want to use for zipping and unzipping and consider the screenshot below).
We suggest configuring the "Zip Selected files" to the Win + A (A for Archive) combination and the "Unzip Selected Files" to the Win + X (X for eXtract) combination.

Using qliner zip
Qliner zip offers four 'actions':
Zip Selected Files: creates a zip file using the files currently selected in Explorer.
Zip Selected Files As...: does the same thing 'Zip Selected Files' does but asks for a name of the output zip file.
Unzip Selected Files: unzips the files currently selected in Explorer.
Unzip Selected Files To...: does the same thing 'Unzip Selected Files' does but
asks for a output location.
