Open files and launch applications with a function key.
Xkeys allows you to open applications, files and folders just by pressing a function key. Function keys can have submenus, further extending the amount of items you can access quickly. Xkeys can be put on standby with a keystroke and is able to run Applescripts on demand.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Great app. I used to have function keys enabled under OS 9 to open applications, now I can do it under OS X. Even better that this is freeware. Working great under OS 10.4.3 on an iMac G5.
It's soooo great...

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />that I haven't been able to upgrade to MacOS X 10.3.2 yet because Xkeys doesn't work in it yet. Pretty please update Xkeys. Mountains of snowy white whipped cream with cherries on top! This is a great product. It saves me so much time I don't want to lose it by upgrading the OS.
Great Product

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have NO complaints about the software --- especially with the price (although I would be willing to pay $5 to ensure continued support).
For some reason, I have been unable to get a script to execute via a function key though. Anyone else having this difficulty?
Here we go!

Brilliant!!!

This is a brilliant program that everyone should have! Although I couldn't get version 1.0.2 to work, when I upgraded to 1.0.4, it worked perfectly, so now I'd reccomend this to anyone!
FANTASTIC!!!
