Hagenberg, Austria: June 28, 2011 — Ergonis Software today released KeyCue 5.3, a new release of the company's popular keyboard shortcut cheat sheet. KeyCue is quite a handy tool for learning and remembering keyboard shortcuts. Whenever the command key is kept pressed for a while, KeyCue displays a table with all keyboard shortcuts available in the currently active application.

The newest version adds an optional legend that explains the meaning of symbols used in the shortcut table. KeyCue uses the same key symbols that are used throughout Mac OS X, but some of these are obscure and need an explanation - especially for users who are new to the Mac. Switchers will therefore particularly appreciate the new legend. Like the shortcut table itself, the legend is compact and context-sensitive; it displays only those key symbols that appear in the shortcut table right now.

Hagenberg, Austria: June 16, 2008 - Ergonis Software today announced the release of PopChar X 4.0, the award-winning tool for finding and typing special characters.

PopChar 4 introduces a new view that allows users to search for special characters in a new, system-wide way, without being limited to the characters available in a particular font.

Imagine you want to type the cubic meters symbol, but you don't know the keyboard combination, much less you know what font contains the required symbol. Up to now you would have to search all your installed fonts one by one. With PopChar 4 you just type "cub m" in the search field and switch to the new "All" view. If any of your installed fonts contains the cubic meters symbol, PopChar will show it to you, and will allow you to insert it into your document with a single click. You don't even have to know which font the symbol comes from. More ...

Hagenberg, Austria: May 20, 2008 — Ergonis Software® today announced KeyCue™ 4.2 adding support for Keyboard Maestro.

KeyCue is quite a handy tool for learning and remembering keyboard shortcuts. Whenever the Command key is kept pressed for a set amount of time, the KeyCue window will appear listing all the keyboard shortcuts available in the currently active application.

Hagenberg, Austria: February 19, 2008 — Ergonis Software® today released KeyCue™ 4.1, the company's popular keyboard shortcut cheat sheet.
KeyCue 4.1 adds two high-contrast large-font themes to make KeyCue even more helpful for visually impaired users. The new version also offers an automatic update checking system, which ensures timely access to updates for future versions.

"I'm thrilled that KeyCue will now be more accessible to low vision users. When you have low vision, using a keyboard shortcut is often vastly easier than finding an item on a menu, but learning keyboard shortcuts can be harder than usual. The keyboard shortcuts are printed *in* the menu items so if you have trouble reading the menu items then you'll have trouble reading the shortcuts to learn them," said Ricky Buchanan, founder and operator of ATMac.org. "Now that KeyCue bypasses that problem by having high-contrast large-font views available things will be much easier for OS X users with low vision." More...

The latest update to Typinator from Ergonis Software gave the program the capability to correct typos and misspellings as soon as they're entered.

TidBITS publisher Adam C. Engst said, "The original public domain list of mistakes and their corrections comes from Micah Alpern; we enhanced and formatted it for use with the unsupported auto-correction capability in Eudora, where I've become addicted to it. When Typinator 2.0 added auto-correction, we worked with Ergonis to convert it appropriately and import it into Typinator, making Typinator a fixture on all my Macs." More ...
