Built into Panther - Version: 1.0, 1/3/2004 04:43PM PST

Almost identical functionality to ReKey is built into Panther. Look in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard shortcuts. Just like ReKey, you have to choose to add a shortcut, then manually type in the text of the menu item you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to. It's almost as if Apple copied ReKey's source code, except the interfaces are so rudimentary that you can see how the two came to the same place. In any case, anyone running 10.3.x does not need ReKey. But if you're on an older OS X, ReKey works and is recommended.

It's nice to find a 2 year old app that's only 48k yet still does what it says it does. The interface is not straightforward, but it gets the job done. You must retype the menu item you want to reassign a key to--there's no GUI for selecting the menu item. But if you type it right, click "Save", and relaunch the app, there's your new shortcut. The "readme" says to choose "Save" from the File menu even though there is no such menu or menu item, but the Save button in the upper right of ReKey's window works fine once you spot it. All in all, a worthwhile download.
