“Find, learn, and remember menu shortcuts”

by Cyril Roger

The Mac environment is built to make full use of keyboard shortcuts, yet very few people know exactly how to use these. You can familiarize yourself with them thanks to this app, KeyCue. Depending on what task you are doing, bringing up the KeyCue window will show all relevant shortcuts. You'll realize that most of them are fairly simple to execute. KeyCue has an elegant interface, which displays shortcuts by theme like message, edit or mail. You can even use the application in any sort of virtual desktop.

While KeyCue is an excellent way to save time, we've sometimes had a slight delay when launching the application window. It's also important to know that KeyCue can use up a fair amount of your memory, so make sure you don't have to many applications running when KeyCue is launched. Overall though, KeyCue is an extremely useful application.

KeyCue is a great tool to discover and learn all the keyboard shortcuts on your Mac.

KeyCue helps you to use your Mac OS X applications more effectively. Just hold down the Command key for a while - KeyCue comes to help and shows a table of all currently available menu shortcuts. When you have found the desired shortcut in the KeyCue table, just type it and continue working as usual. The KeyCue window will disappear automatically.

You no longer need to memorize and remember key combinations, just press the command key and KeyCue tells you what you want to know. Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and become a power user of your favorite applications, working much more efficiently.
