KeyCue v 3.0 (February 2007) - Changes since v 2.1:

KeyCue now sports different themes for customizing the appearance of the shortcut table. These themes include the "Classic" look of previous versions and a brand-new "Dashboard" theme that darkens the rest of the screen to attract attention to the shortcuts.

French Localization
Drawing and refreshing the shortcut table has been accelerated.

KeyCue v 2.1 (October 2006) - Changes since v 2.0.1:

Complete German localization including German documentation

When the "Keep menus together" option was enabled, menus with many shortcuts (as in TextMate) resulted in few long columns that were shown in a very tiny font size.

Improved compatibility with MenuMaster. More shortcuts defined with MenuMaster are now displayed.

The "KeyCue Settings" shortcut did not work with Dvorak keyboards.

KeyCue always truncated long menu items, even if the "Truncate" option was turned off.


KeyCue v 2.0.1 (February 2006) - Changes since v 2.0:

Fixed a compatibility problem with FruitMenu that caused KeyCue to crash or hang.

Fixed a problem that resulted in a "sticky" shortcut window after releasing the command key.
Fixed misleading information about the currently registered license key.
Fixed a problem where KeyCue could not be re-registered with a new license key.
Fixed a problem where the settings window intercepted keyboard input meant for another application.
Fixed an error in the German localization.

Improved feedback shown in the registration section gives more precise information about the current state and which steps to take.

KeyCue now detects and helps to resolve two common installation errors: launching KeyCue from the distribution disk image and running multiple copies of KeyCue at the same time.


KeyCue v 2.0 (January 2006) - Changes since v 1.1:

KeyCue has been completely re-written as a Cocoa application; it is now distributed as a Universal Binary application, that means it is made to run on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers.

KeyCue can now detect and display shortcuts that include special keys (such as arrow keys).
The order of menu commands and their shortcuts can now be swapped.
KeyCue can now be configured to include or exclude shortcuts from the Apple menu.

KeyCue is now much faster. It uses a new technique to collect menu shortcuts, which significantly reduces the delay until the shortcut table appears.

Improved readability of the shortcut table.

The KeyCue table now includes shortcuts installed by MenuMaster.

In some applications, KeyCue could not detect shortcuts in the Services submenu.
