KeyCue is for menu shortcuts what PopChar is for special characters.
This simple, unobtrusive utility application helps you find, remember, and learn menu shortcuts. KeyCue automatically trains you to use menu shortcuts and makes you a power user of your favorite apps on the fly.
In a typical Mac OS X application, the most frequently needed menu items have keyboard shortcuts that let you access these menu items faster. Many applications have 40 or more menu shortcuts. Menu shortcuts may be convenient to use, but you first need to memorize them, and you must remember all of them correctly in order not to make mistakes that may lead to undesired results.
But KeyCue is not only useful for finding menu shortcuts. You learn much more: When you use KeyCue for a while, you will be surprised about the multitude of menu commands in many applications. Since some of these commands are buried in submenus, you may not even be aware that they exist. KeyCue will help you learn what applications can do and how to use them more effectively.
