Reviews & Comments About Us

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.
