Welcome to QuicKeys 2¬.
We hope that you enjoy using the QuicKeys 2 demo. This demo will work for seven days after it is installed. After that time QuicKeys 2 will not load. After the demo expires, any QuicKeys that you created while you were using the demo will work again if you install a full working copy.

Going back to QuicKeys 1.x
When the QuicKeys 2 demo is installed, your old copy of QuicKeys¬ is moved into your QuicKeys folder, inside the Preferences folder, within the System folder. They are there in case you want to downgrade to the old version (for reasons like INIT conflicts, etc.). You may want to delete the earlier versions of QuicKeys and QuickTimer¬ to save disk space.

Out of Memory or Low Memory Errors
If you are not using MultiFinder and get a memory condition error from QuicKeys 2, try closing some windows to provide QuicKeys with more memory.
If you are using MultiFinder and get a memory condition error from QuicKeys 2 while using a certain application or the Finder, increase the amount of memory available to the application (or Finder). To do this, select "Quit" from the application's File menu, go to the Finder, select the application, then select ╥Get Info╙ from the File menu. (If you are already in the Finder, open the System folder and select the Finder, then select "Get Info" from the File menu.) The Info window displays Suggested Memory Size for the application (or Finder) and the Application Memory Size. Double-click in the Application Memory Size box and type a number up to 80K larger than what is currently shown. Then click the close box to close the Info window. (If you change the Finder's Application Memory Size, you must restart you computer before the change will take effect.)

INIT Loading Order
INITs load alphabetically as your Macintosh starts. If you rearrange the loading order of your INITs, make sure that the CEToolbox INIT loads BEFORE the QuicKeys 2 INIT.

If CE Toolbox Isn╒t loaded╔
If CE ToolBox has not been loaded, QuicKeys 2 will work, but the File QuicKeys (used to launch documents and applications) will NOT work. Also, the keystrokes used for QuicKeys will be hidden in the QuicKeys 2 window and Quick Reference Card. You will not be able to change or assign keystrokes.

Using the Delete, Tab, Return and Enter Keys in Keystrokes
You may wish to use only the Delete, Tab, Enter, or Return key for a keystroke to activate a QuicKey. Ordinarily you are prevented from doing this. If you wish to use one of these keys as the ONLY key in your keystroke, hold down the mouse button when pressing the key. The Delete, Tab, Return or Enter key can be used in combination with the Command, Option, Control or Shift keys without holding down the mouse button.

Keyboard Equivalents vs. QuicKeys
Many menu items in applications have keyboard equivalents. (Command-P selects ╥Print╙, Command-C selects ╥Copy╙, etc.) If you assign a QuicKey to use the same keystroke, (such as using Command-P for a Page Down Mousie), the QuicKeys keystroke will be used. (Command-P will page down one screen instead of opening the Print dialog box.) A QuicKey keystroke will also override the keyboard equivalents that are used in the QuicKeys 2 window menus.

The Numbers in the Click Location Dialog Box
Positive numbers in this dialog box indicate that the cursor will move down and to the right. Negative numbers mean the cursor will move up and to the left.

Quick Reference Card╒s Position on Screen
If the ╥Expand to Fill Screen╙ box is not checked in the Configure Quick Reference Card dialog box, the Quick Reference card will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
Note to Power Users with ResEdit: If you wish to change the location of the card, use ResEdit to move the Quick Reference Card dialog box.
