- QuicKeys? I LOVE IT. And I don't even use it for that many things, I think.
-
- (1) Empty Trash, Restart, Shutdown from keyboard (big deal, could do that with
- ResEdit). Also can change monitor depth and choose printers.
-
- (2) In PageMaker, I have a sequence to do fractions, to make drop caps, and
- any other boring, repetitive tasks that need to be done. I also mapped keys
- to close the document and do a Save As...
-
- (3) In Word, I use it to change fonts and do other things not normally
- accessible from the keyboard, like the thesaurus.
-
- QuicKeys will make your Mac usage much easier. I myself am probably not using
- it to its fullest extent, but I still love it.
