Perth, Western Australia - 17 July 2007 - Stairways Software Pty Ltd
is pleased to announce Keyboard Maestro 2.1, the new Universal Binary
version of its powerful productivity enhancer for Mac OS X.
This release adds native Intel Universal Binary support and resolves
a number of minor issues.
Using Keyboard Maestro's macros you can control applications,
windows, or menus; insert text; open documents, applications or URLs;
execute scripts; control the system, iTunes, or a PowerMate; and
more, all with the touch of a key, click of the mouse, periodically
or at specific times, or even when an application is launched,
running or quits.
The Program Switcher lets you cycle through applications or windows,
closing, hiding, launching, and more. Keyboard Maestro can help you
regain control of your crowded screen by letting you close or hide
multiple windows or applications, especially useful in the Finder.
The Clipboard Switcher lets you select from a number of named
clipboards, storing information away for later retrieval. Store the
details you are working with and access them by name again and again.
Keyboard Maestro was acquired by Stairways Software on 30 June 2004
and we have continued to build on the solid foundations that Michael
Kamprath developed in Keyboard Maestro 1 and the initial 2.0 betas.
New in Keyboard Maestro 2.1:
* Native PowerPC and Intel Universal Binary.
* Remember applications when applications are relaunched.
* Keep the floating Palette on the screen.
* Support the F16 function key.
