   KeyCue 7.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Freshening up its look and adding new search and custom shortcut
   features, Ergonis has released version 7.0 of its [1]KeyCue keyboard
   shortcut utility. KeyCue 7.0 now enables you to search for commands and
   shortcuts by entering a term in the search field that appears at the
   bottom of the shortcut table; all matching items will then be
   highlighted. It also adds the capability to reveal hidden shortcuts
   that sometimes get filed away in help documents and printed manuals via
   user-definable custom shortcut descriptions. Additionally, these custom
   shortcuts can also include clicks and gestures with modifier keys.
   Ergonis has posted a number of these extended shortcut descriptions on
   its [2]Download Extras Web page (for Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and
   Photoshop, ProTools 9, and Sibelius 7, as well as a collection of OS X
   system-wide shortcuts) with more promised to come in the future.

   But the most visible change is the addition of new themes, with eight
   new pre-installed themes plus more available from the Ergonis Download
   Extras Web page (the bonus Blackboard theme is shown below). Ergonis
   also provides a downloadable manual that explains how to create your
   own themes or modify existing themes.

   Other changes include the capability to invoke KeyCue via an
   AppleEvent, a fix for an issue that would incorrectly activate a
   previously selected menu command after dismissing the shortcut window
   with the esc key, and adding a persistent way to access the settings
   window in all spaces. If you purchased a KeyCue 6 license on or after
   01 January 2013, you can upgrade to KeyCue 7.0 for free. For purchases
   made before that date, you can [4]upgrade to the new version for '¬9.99
   for a single user license or '¬14.99 for a family pack license.
   ('¬19.99 new with a 25 percent discount for [5]TidBITS members, free
   update, 3.4 MB, [6]release notes)
