Find and learn menu shortcuts
Macility's KeyCue works more efficiently
Ergonis Software has released KeyCue 1.1 for Mac OS X. KeyCue is for menu shortcuts what PopChar is for special characters. Just hold down the command key and KeyCue will show you all currently available menu shortcuts. Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and start working more efficiently. The new version 1.1 comes with built-in documentation, improved compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") and other minor improvements and fixes.
Menu shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. But in practice, most users only know just a few menu shortcuts, passing up this chance for productivity enhancement. This is where KeyCue comes in. KeyCue is a simple utility application that helps you find, remember and learn keyboard shortcuts for menu items. Just hold down the command key for a while to see a table of all currently available menu shortcuts.
The average Mac OS X application has about 40 menu shortcuts. Apple's Mail, for example, can have 80 or even more menu shortcuts, depending on the current situation. KeyCue is a simple and unobtrusive utility that makes your daily work easier and automatically enhances your productivity by helping you to remember these menu shortcuts on the fly.
