Xkeys Reviewnah... - Version: 1.1.1, 6/9/2008 05:57PM PST

USE QUICKSILVER.

quicksilver, the great app which everyone should already have (it's better than google desktop or spotlight, overall), can do this.

you just make a custom trigger.
Plus, it's easier to program these shortcuts in QS.

Xkeys CommentaryDoes this work with Intel Macs? - Version: 1.1.1, 7/12/2007 03:25PM PST

I used to run Xkeys with my old Powerbook. I just upgraded to a Macbook Pro and Xkeys no longer seems to work. Is it not compatible with newer Macs? Is there a good alternative app to get the same functionality anyone can suggest?
