KeyCue 4.0 adds clickable menu items

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Oct 18th, 2007



We've posted about the menu shortcut utility KeyCue a few times, but the newly released version 4.0 adds an interesting new feature: clickable menu items. KeyCue is a utility that help you find and remember all the keyboard shortcuts in your applications. While KeyCue is running in the background, if you press and hold the ? key a bezel menu will pop up (as above) showing all the the keyboard shortcuts for the active application. This saves having to dig through the menus to find what you want. With version 4.0 KeyCue now allows you to select the menu items with the mouse as well as the keyboard.

KeyCue is €19.99 (~$28) and a demo is available. The update should be free for anyone who purchased KeyCue in the last two years.

KeyCue 35% off at MacZOT today only

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on May 10th, 2007


Last October was when we first mentioned KeyCue from ergonis software, the utility that displays all the keyboard shortcuts for the app you're in, and even though I fell in love with it I somehow missed its update to version 3.0. Luckily, today's MacZOT was just the reminder I needed, as KeyCue is on sale today for only $12.99, a 35% discount from its regular $19.99. If you've ever wanted a handy birds-eye view of every shortcut for an app without having to dig around in menus and manuals, KeyCue is definitely the way to go. It even works with just about every app I've thrown at it, including Firefox and Photoshop. This latest 3.0 version added a performance boost of up to 10x when collecting shortcuts, as well as a theming engine with a new Dashboard theme that darkens the rest of the screen when activating the shortcuts window.

KeyCue is a great app that I personally recommend, and it's a steal at today's MacZOT price.

KeyCue 2.1

by Laurie A. Duncan (RSS feed) on Oct 31st, 2006

I am a keyboard command junkie but there are only so many shortcuts I can remember from day to day. That's why I started using KeyCue a year or so ago and I highly recommend it to anyone who relies on keyboard shortcuts but has trouble remembering the many hundreds that are available at any given time - which, face it, is most of you.

KeyCue gives you an instant overview of all the menu shortcuts available to whatever application you are working in. You trigger it with the Command/Apple key and there you have all the shortcuts you need at a glance.

Ergonis, the developer of KeyCue, is also the dev behind PopChar, which many of you probably already know and love. KeyCue is for keyboard menu shortcuts what PopChar is for special characters.

KeyCue 2.1 is the latest update and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or newer and it's Universal Binary. It's $20 to buy, but you can try it for free. The upgrade to 2.1 is also free for anyone who bought KeyCue in the last 2 years.
