I did it for myself, and released it just in case someone else needed it. I was actually not aware of the shortcut. However, my program makes a slightly more pleasant sound. Also, I plan to add functionality to play different tones, so you can produce different kinds of alerts, based on your preferences. But the program is extremely simple. Only a few lines of code. That's the thing about being a programmer. If you can do a program that does the same thing as by hand in the same timeframe, the programmer will do the program just because :-)
