KeyCue - find, remember, and learn menu shortcuts

Did you know that the average Mac OS X application has 40 to 80 menu shortcuts?

Menu shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. Honestly though, how many shortcuts do you know by heart?

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.

See an unbiased video review of KeyCue done by Michael Mistretta at MacApper.

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.

KeyCue - find, remember, and learn menu shortcuts

The current version of KeyCue is 4.2. Read the release notes and download the current version.

Keyboard Maestro is a powerful macro program that lets you define custom action sequences together with your own shortcuts to activate them. But as with menu shortcuts, when you have defined a lot of useful macros, remembering all the shortcuts for invoking them becomes a challenge.

Starting with version 3.0 of Keyboard Maestro and version 4.2 of KeyCue, the two applications work together allowing KeyCue to show all currently active Keyboard Maestro hot keys by just holding down the control key.

By combining Keyboard Maestro with KeyCue, your Keyboard Maestro macros speed up your work, and KeyCue speeds up executing your macros - what a great combination!
