"Another Great Ergonis Product"
Version: KeyCue 6.1
Pros
Great product.
Easy to use.
Works in the background.
Easy updates, and low pricing.Cons
None. The program works as expected
Summary
KeyCue 6.1 is the most recent addition to my stable of Ergonis products, and there is no doubt the quality of this latest update is superior. I am thoroughly impressed by the clean interface, smooth execution of commands, and the ease of updating that has long characterized this company's efforts to stay on the cutting edge of constantly evolving technology.
What I like best about the products is their seamless integration with Mac OS X, and the careful attention paid to the need for them to function correctly, and work in the background thus eliminating the need to "activate" them in any complicated manner.
Kudos to the design team. You have outdone yourselves in this version. But, more importantly, the ease with which your company provides updates coupled with the low cost, makes it #1 on my list of preferred software companies. Congratulations! -
"This should come with the MacOS"
Version: KeyCue 5.2
Pros
It's essential to understand the keyboard shortcuts, provided by MacOS. This provides you with all you need to know in one press of a button.
Cons
None. None at all.
Summary
Everyone should have this as a log in item. I no longer need to STUDY the plethora of the keyboard shortcuts available in MacOS. If i'm curious about what keyboard action can be used, at any one time, in any particular dialogue box, I can call up a complete list of actions, by holding down a key (that I can pre-assign). No studying needed!

"Keyboard Shortcuts, on call, right at your fingertips."
Version: KeyCue 5.2
Pros
Works with any Mac program, no more 'menu hunting'; no need to memorize. Unobtrusive, well supported, fills a unique niche.
Cons
None that I know of.
Summary
Quite possibly, KeyCue may be an app you never knew you had a need for. Keyboard shortcuts have been with us since the beginning, but no one ever addressed cataloging, organizing and accessing them in such an easy manner as does KeyCue. It makes every keyboard shortcut available to you, in the front-most app, with the press of a button. You may not have initiated a search for a utility that does what KeyCue does, but after using it, you'll probably wonder how you lived without it.

"Occasionally useful"
Version: KeyCue 5.2
Pros
Worth the low cost because it can be extremely helpful.
Cons
Very erratic - sometimes just will not work at all for no apparent reason. It usually manages to fail just when I need it most. It has got better at responding at each new version, but still fails sometimes.
Summary
Apart from sometimes not responding when called up, at other times, if you hold down the Option key a mite too long while executing an action, it pops up and gets in the way momentarily - but that is not really its fault. Nevertheless can be very useful from time to time or when learning a new program. Worth the money.

"A Perfect addition to your Mac"
Version: KeyCue 5.1
Pros
It works perfectly, and using Key Commands is soooo much better than using your mouse.
Cons
no "cons" whatsoever.
Summary
This is especially useful for Mac noobies.
I have recommended this to several people new to Macs.
They have ALL thanked me. -
"KeyCue Helps Me a Lot"
Version: KeyCue 4.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have had KeyCue for many years. It has saved me a lot of time and frustration, especially since I can't remember all of the key combinations for the shortcuts just in the Finder itself. With the third-party add-ons and programs that I use, I still find that KeyCue is a great help, and it is nice that all I have to do is press and hold just one key. -
"QuicKeys integration is excellent in v4.5"
Version: KeyCue 4.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been using KeyCue for three years on Tiger and Leopard with no problems and the latest version allows me to see all my application and QuicKeys shortcuts at the same time, which is brilliant. QuicKeys became an indispensable utility for me back in the Classic OS days and remains so now. KeyCue is the only practical way to quickly see what shortcuts are available in any given context across the application, system and QuicKeys domains simultaneously, in an attractive and easy way - well worth the fee for me. -
"Useful utility"
Version: KeyCue 3.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I got KeyCue as part of the Macitility Productivity Bundle. While I probably wouldn't have bought it as a standalone utility, it's a very useful program, well implemented and elegantly done. -
"GREAT time saver"
Version: KeyCue 3.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
If you want to use key strokes instead of relying on a mouse, or the mouse pad on your PowerBook is to fussy than get this utility. It works 100% of the time, is stable and saves me a lot of time. Try it, I'm sure you'll like it. -
"I Like It- But For The Command Key Being Used???"
Version: KeyCue 3.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It is great, but I find it frustrating that the command key is implemented for this. I find myself worrying about how long I rest my finger on the command key for fear that it's damn menu will pop on again.
Anybody else find this a nuisance, or is it just me?
What about implementing something more "out of the way," like perhaps the Control key?
Otherwise, I think it's a great fast way to learn a program.
