What happened to Key Xing???? - Version: 2.6.6, 5/21/2005 06:14PM PST

i've been searching for a quick n easy way to activate some scripts i've written on my mac, and it doesn't seem doable using keyboard shortcuts in system prefs - unless i'm looking at it wrong, system prefs 'keyboard shortcuts' seem to only apply to app's (I want to assign scripts to my unused F keys on my powerbook);

anyways, everything i'd read suggested that key xing was the grand thang - and when i check lumacode's site i see the message, "Unfortunately, we're not currently at liberty to say why Key Xing is no longer available, but rest assured that it's not a quality problem."

again, WTF? i will rain showers of pure bliss upon you and yours if someone knows something...i am

Found this on Luma Code's Web site:

"Key Xing is no longer available. Unfortunately, we're not currently at liberty to say why Key Xing is no longer available, but rest assured that it's not a quality problem. The last version (2.6.6) of Key Xing is bug-free as far as we know."

Drag!
