It is the favorite of my graphic artist friends who have been using it with Photoshop for years. What started out as a simple way to avoid using the mouse has become to an automation standard. It can automate almost any actions you can throw at it. It is such a strong standard that many products, such as PowerKey Pro and OneClick , are designed to work with QuicKeys . QuicKeys is keyboard oriented.
Many people use it just to remap the keyboard and to create simple shortcuts.
While CE Software has added more ways to access QuicKeys shortcuts, including a special menu and palettes, the QuicKeys way of mastering the Mac is through the keyboard. QuicKeys uses a visual, rather than a text, approach to writing macros or shortcuts. Each shortcut is defined in its own dialog box. Attempts at complex programming bumps up against QuicKeys' design. QuicKeys biggest limitations lies in its lack of variables and its primitive sequence actions, such as loops and branching.
