Single Most Important Productivity Tool on OS X - Version: 4.0.1, 1/21/2010 09:01PM PST

Keyboard Maestro is the single strongest productivity enhancer on OS X. KM allows us to program any repetitive task sequence in a matter of minutes. We've tried AppleScript and Automator but for sophisticated tasks they take hours of tinkering to get them to do just what we want. With Keyboard Maestro, if you can write the steps down, your macro is already done. Our programming team moving over from Windows was thrilled to be able to set some essential keyboard shortcuts to what they are used to to get off to a fast start on Mac.

Personally I use it to make keyboard shortcuts work the same across multiple applications and to make Apple Mail accept Eudora keyboard shortcuts. I also have hot keys for filing mail. The first software I bought when the office switched from Windows to Mac was a site license for Keyboard Maestro.

Great macro hot key program - KM - Version: 3.5, 11/14/2009 03:06PM PST

Keyboard Maestro 3.5 is an excellent upgrade.
Using it on a new MBP 15 2.66 with Snow 10.6.2 & it makes the new Mac OSX run even better.
I love to keep my hands on the keyboard & using KM to open Apps with hotkeys, instantly get to a given System Preference, or check a word in a Nisus Writer file on Dictionary thru Services is insanely easy.
The latest version gives you many preloaded ideas of how you can make Snow move even quicker.
