QuicKeys 4.0 Beta 6 / 3.2.3

QuicKeys X is the first automation utility specifically designed for Mac OS X. It takes the daily tasks that would normally require you five...six...twenty or more steps and turns them into simple one step shortcuts.
Automate anything from launching programs, mounting servers, selecting menus, and running UNIX commands to typing text or shutting down your Classic environment.
Whatever you do, however many steps, QuicKeys will help you save time and increase your productivity.

Main features:
- Triggers: hot keys, sticky keys, toolbars, timers & quickeys menu
- Use hot keys, which can be virtually any key combination, to trigger your QuicKeys shortcuts.
- With the Sticky Key option, you can also string a series of hot keys together for even more flexibility. For example use F1->I->E to launch Internet Explorer and F1->E->M to launch your e-mail application.
- Create toolbars that contain buttons for any or all of your shortcuts. Like other triggers, toolbars can be for all applications or application specific (the toolbar will only appear when the specified application is open). Toolbar tabs allow you to have one toolbar with multiple tabs - each containing different sets of shortcuts.
- Set timers to activate shortcuts at a specified time on any day of the week. Timed triggers can repeat at an interval which you define.
- Launch shortcuts, open the QuicKeys Editor and control playback of steps from custom menu selections in the QuicKeys Dock menu or QuicKeys System menu.
- Shortcuts can be triggered automatically after a specific application opens, quits, becomes front-most or leaves the front.
- Users can now directly assign shortcuts to buttons on a USB mouse, trackball, joystick, and even special keys like Eject and Mute on a keyboard.
- If a user has a microphone attached to their Mac, they can assign a unique phrase for any QuicKeys shortcut, which when spoken will activate that shortcut.
- QuicKeys Shortcuts can be saved as files and can now be used in any toolbar application - even on the dock. This also allows Shortcuts to be played by other applications like iCal or FileMaker.
- All shortcut triggers can now be tied to a time-range qualifier. When this qualifier is grouped with another trigger users can limit that triggers operation to specified time ranges.
- Recording & Playback: With the recording feature, QuicKeys will watch and record your actions so you can play them back at any time. This feature is great for quickly automating longer, multi-step tasks.
- Designate shortcuts to work only in certain applications or in all applications.
- You have the option of excluding certain applications from the "All Applications" scope.
- In addition to being able to set the scope for each shortcut, users can now assign subscopes for the different parts of the selected application. For example, have the F1 hot key do one thing while editing a document and have it do something else when doing print layout.
- Shortcut Import & Export: Transfer your shortcuts to another computer or user. Great for utilizing the same shortcuts on multiple computers or for sharing your favorite shortcuts with friends or co-workers.
- Public/Shared Shortcuts: A new way to share shortcuts has been added, giving a whole office the ability to be efficient together. Using Public Shortcuts, administrators can now publish shortcuts that users can easily subscribe to. Plus, any changes made to these Public Shortcuts will be updated on each users machine automatically whenever QuicKeys is launched.

Enhancements
- One word to type them all! - Lets start with Abbreviations. Abbreviations let you type a short word (aka an Abbreviation) in a document and automatically replace it with other longer text, run a QuicKeys Shortcut, or even paste in a QuicKeys Clip. Abbreviations are extremely useful for typing text super quickly. Now you can be verbose by being succinct.
- Automation, meet the Web. Web, meet Automation. - Finally, QuicKeys automation has come to the web! Using Web Actions you can automate web pages in Safari. Web Actions give you amazing control of most web sites and the ever growing number of web applications.
- Everything is online... even QuicKeys! - Then there is the new QuicKeys Online – an online resource center available from right inside the QuicKeys Editor. Here you can find the Shortcut Gallery where you can download pre-made Shortcuts submitted by other users (and you can share your own, too, if you wish), view tutorials, and read regularly updated tips and tricks of how to use QuicKeys (posted via QuicKeys on Twitter).
- A fresh, warm batch of files - Another great new feature is Batch Processor. Batch Processor actions let you repeatedly run a Shortcut that performs actions for all the files in a particular folder.
- Instant Gratification - For those times you just want to quickly automate something and keep right on going weve added the new Instant Shortcut. This special Shortcut lets you make a quick, temporary recording of your actions that can be played back over and over until you record a new Instant Shortcut. You can, of course, save a copy to add to your collection of useful Shortcuts.
- Have a QuicKey anytime, anywhe - Do you have an iPhone/iPod Touch? Get the QuicKeys Anywhere remote control app from the iTunes AppStore. It lets you run your Shortcuts back on your Mac from wherever you and your iPhone/iPod Touch may be (with a WiFi or phone connection of course). Available soon!
- Perfect Harmony - If you need to rock out with QuicKeys, we have new MIDI triggers that let you trigger Shortcuts via MIDI enabled musical instruments or equipment. You can even specify musical chords as triggers to give you an incredible variety of possibilities.
- Like a hot key in a haystack - We have also added the ability to search your Shortcuts based on all kinds of criteria (including hot keys). Plus you can save your searches as Smart Folders. Very useful for you power users with incredible amounts of Shortcuts.
