CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jason Parker on June 03, 2009
Keyboard shortcuts don't just save you time, they're also good for you. Using shortcuts is one of the easiest ways to wean yourself from your mouse and cut down on repetitive strain injuries in your hands and wrists. So any app like KeyCue that can help you learn new shortcuts and remember old ones is worth a look.
KeyCue is a very simple app; you just hold down the command key (or any key combination you choose), and KeyCue instantly displays a clear, clickable menu of all the shortcuts currently available in the application you're using.
KeyCue comes with many variations and preferences (everything from different menu themes to the ability to change the pop-up menu time delay), but the instant shortcut menu is its core functionality. If you also use the macro-program Keyboard Maestro, KeyCue is even more useful, as it will display the shortcuts for all your predefined macros as well. The only major strike against KeyCue is its price, which might be too high for some users given the app's narrow functionality.
Publisher's description
From Ergonis software :KeyCue is a simple, unobtrusive utility application that helps you find, remember, and learn menu shortcuts. Just hold down the Command key for a while - KeyCue comes to help and shows a table of all currently available menu shortcuts. When you have found the desired shortcut in the KeyCue table, just type it and continue working as usual. The KeyCue window will disappear automatically. Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and become a power user of your favorite applications, working much more efficiently.
What's new in this version:
- Support for system-wide keyboard shortcuts.
- Support for function keys F16 to F19 on aluminum keyboards.
- Correctly displays shortcuts that include the space bar.
- Fixes a problem with FileMaker that caused KeyCue to miss shortcuts after switching between Layout and Browse modes.
- Fixes a problem where KeyCue could not find any shortcuts in Safari.
- Works around a problem with Firefox that caused KeyCue to fail after closing the initial window... see all new features
