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?

...for providing something Apple should have.

After years of OS 9.1 (with an FKey CP whose name I don't recall), am finally into OS X, and I have missed being able to just touch an FKey to launch an app.

Next enhancements, when you have the time:

1. I have 16 FKeys on my eMac keyboard. The last one feels left out.

2. I suppose I can AppleScript this and assign an FKey to the script, but opening a URL in the default browser would be cool.

Great app. I used to have function keys enabled under OS 9 to open applications, now I can do it under OS X. Even better that this is freeware. Working great under OS 10.4.3 on an iMac G5.
