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.

We've been using Keyboard Maestro since the very first version came out in 2001, and this program just keeps getting better and better as time goes by. We can honestly say that a Mac just wouldn't be a Mac without Keyboard Maestro running on it. If you like using your keyboard to control your Mac, Keyboard Maestro is a must-have utility. The technical support is excellent, the program is continually updated with new features, bug fixes, and OS compatibility, and the program is just a sheer delight to use for just about anything that you can think of doing with your keyboard. Keep up the great work, Stairways Software.
