KeyCue v8.7b1 macOS

KeyCue helps you to use your Mac OS X applications more effectively by displaying a concise table of all currently available menu shortcuts. You no longer need to memorize and remember key combinations; just press the command key and KeyCue tells you what you want to know. Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and start working more efficiently.

Did you know that the average macOS application has 40 to 80 menu shortcuts? Menu shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. Honestly though, how many shortcut keys do you know by heart?

KeyCue gives you an instant overview of the overall functionality of any application, plus lets you automatically start working more efficiently by making use of menu shortcuts.

Starting with version 8, KeyCue offers a completely new and flexible way to define a wide variety of triggers, which can be combinations of modifier keystrokes and mouse clicks. These triggers can be used to perform different actions, like bringing up the KeyCue sheet for selected types of shortcuts, opening the KeyCue settings window, or other actions.

You can define separate keyboard combinations for menu shortcuts, system-wide shortcuts, and macro shortcuts for QuicKeys, Keyboard Maestro, and iKey.

For each trigger, you can independently specify which content you want to see. You can, for example, create one large table with all available menu shortcuts, or separate triggers for individual tables.

In KeyCue 8 and newer, you can define your own favorite URL collection together with your preferred triggers, and you are ready to use KeyCue for quickly showing a table of your URLs and invoking them with a single click.

The mechanism has been designed in a flexible way to support further extensions in the future. So the URL collection is just the beginning of other actions that will be included in future versions of KeyCue. Stay tuned for more great enhancements that will boost the way you use your Mac.
