Product Description:
QuicKeys takes all those repetitive and time-consuming computer tasks you do each day and turns them into simple, one step shortcuts - providing virtually limitless possibilities for improving efficiency. Automate actions as simple as typing blocks of text and selecting menus with a custom hot key, to creating advanced sequences using Decision & Wait logic and user-defined Variables. Whatever the task, however many steps, QuicKeys will save you time and increase your productivity.
Shortcuts are a snap to create with either the easy-to-use QuicKeys Editor or the built in recording feature. Shortcuts can be scoped to work in all applications or limited to only work in a specific application. Plus QuicKeys provides a wide range of ways to trigger your shortcuts - including hot keys, timers, toolbars, device and speech triggers.
Once you simplify your daily computer tasks with QuicKeys, the benefits are obvious. Primarily, you'll save time. Every shortcut, whether saving you 10 seconds or 10 minutes of attentive work at your keyboard, will give you back some of that most precious commodity. And accuracy is another bonus. Humans are prone to error, but with some care, QuicKeys shortcuts can be built to be bullet-proof, performing a task thousands of times, each iteration exactly like the last. With QuicKeys X, all the different parts of your Mac can be customized to work together, the way you want. Once you've experienced this kind of power, you won't want to use a Mac without QuicKeys.

QuicKeys is the Real Deal - Version: 4.0.4, 10/14/2009 06:04AM PST

I felt obliged to offer my review -- after being a QuicKeys user since 1992 or so -- to try to counterbalance the unfathomable negative reviews. There can be no mere "difference of opinion," and chowhound is correct: those unfairly posting low ratings have either a) not actually used the software, b) not the mental capacity to use the software, or c) an agenda.
I currently have 406 shortcuts established. Many of those are tied to keystrokes. Many are set to trigger at a particular time, or after a particular event (whenever the Music volume mounts run a sync of my iTunes Library files -- easy to set up, in case you're wondering), and many are set to work only within the scope of a particular application (determine what "Cmd-Shift-S" does on a per-application basis), etc.
It's indispensable, insanely powerful, and absurdly easy considering the power you're harnessing.
Buy it. Play with it. If you're still not sure, RTFM (though you will likely not need to until/unless you want the more advanced stuff.)
Quicksilver's great. It's *not* a replacement. I use them both, and Quicksilver *only* for very specific things (such as it's ability to chain events and perhaps show me a dialog of a custom message after a particular delay.)
Otherwise, it's QuicKeys 250 times a day for me. Sitting at a computer that does not have QuicKeys (and more specifically my shortcuts) installed makes me wonder how I could possibly get along without it. It's that good and that indispensable.
10 stars, no joke.

Quickeys was great in the days before OS X, sucked for a couple of years while it caught up, and is now terrific again. It suffers unfairly from low reviews here from people who 1. haven't noticed it got good again, 2. haven't taken time to learn to use the program (there's a learning curve), and/or 3. are shilling to promote other applications.
Re: that last, anyone who says "XXX does the same only cheaper" is lying. Quickeys is unique. There's nothing out there with even close to its power.
If there's anything repetitive (really, just about ANYTHING) you find yourself doing on a Mac, this program will turn it into a painless macro. I wish I could use it to automate my entire life!

I can't say enough good about this product. Its a real time-saver and makes using the Mac easier than ever and reducing errors that one makes when doing repetitive things like logging into web sites, entering text etc etc. This product will not disappoint and it is so worth the price. Like me, I'm sure you'll end up using it for years.
