Phone Amego allows you to define hot keys for: Answer Call, End Call, Open Call Window,
Open Contact Card, and Open Call Log under the More tab. Open Contact Card will open a
card for the last dialed or answered call (if any). If none is found (since the program was
launched), it will open the Call Log so you can choose one.
Command Modifier
When dialing, send touch-tones instead of starting a new call.
Option Modifier
When dialing, show number in Call Window to allow choosing a telephone device.
Control Modifier
When you click on a rolodex card icon, bypass other methods to open a Phone Amego Contact
Card directly.
When dialing or accessing Google Voice, pressing Control will display the WebKit window Phone
Amego uses to communicate with Google Voice allowing you to see the login process in case of
difficulty.
Pressing Control while selecting Phone Amego from the main menu will open the Phone Amego
Debug Log.
Pressing Control Show in Finder from the Call Log will open the main Phone Amego window
(helpful if the status bar icon is covered by another application). You can also click in any Finder
window to reveal more of the status bar (since Finder has fewer menus).
Many buttons have tool tips describing additional features when pressed with Option, Command,
or Control.
The Dial with Phone Amego application service defaults to Shift-Command-D. You can enable
this service and change it to Control-Shift-D in "System Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts ->
Services -> Text".
You can press "Esc" (Cancel) or "Return" (OK) in many dialogs without leaving the keyboard.
