Product Description:
KeyCue is a simple, unobtrusive utility application that helps you find, remember, and learn menu shortcuts. Just hold down the Command key for a while - KeyCue comes to help and shows a table of all currently available menu shortcuts. When you have found the desired shortcut in the KeyCue table, just type it and continue working as usual. The KeyCue window will disappear automatically.
Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and become a power user of your favorite applications, working much more efficiently.

What's new in this version:
- Collecting the menu shortcuts has been completely re-designed and re-implemented and is up to 10 times faster now.

- French Localization
- Drawing and refreshing the shortcut table has been accelerated.
- KeyCue now always avoids splitting of submenus across columns.
- The fading effects are now smoother than in previous versions.
- Menu titles no longer appear as the last items in a column when the "keep menus together" option is disabled.
- In certain situations, KeyCue displayed submenu titles although the corresponding preference setting was turned off.
- Fixes a problem when a menu was open while displaying the shortcut table.
- See the version history for details.

I have been using KeyCue for three years on Tiger and Leopard with no problems and the latest version allows me to see all my application and QuicKeys shortcuts at the same time, which is brilliant. QuicKeys became an indispensable utility for me back in the Classic OS days and remains so now. KeyCue is the only practical way to quickly see what shortcuts are available in any given context across the application, system and QuicKeys domains simultaneously, in an attractive and easy way - well worth the fee for me.
Excellent, overpriced application - Version: 4.4, 4/30/2009 08:05PM PST

This is a wonderful app, but it is not worth $25. I'd consider paying $5 - $10, but no more. There are plenty of other methods for finding shortcuts, all of them free.

I tried KeyCue some time ago but it didn't work in Photoshop so I stopped using it. Then I discovered an equivalent solution built into OS X. Check the Keyboard & Mouse preferences; under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab you will find, in Keyboard Navigation, the option to "Move focus to the menu bar," among other things. The default shortcut for this is Control-F2. It will highlight the menu bar, beginning with the Apple Menu. You can then navigate left and right through application menu items using the left and right arrow keys and move up and down the menus using the up and down arrow keys. These menus will show you the available keyboard shortcuts and you can activate them directly by selecting a menu item and hitting the Return key or the spacebar. If you open one menu and leave it open, you can move to the next menu and it, too, will be open. Thus you can move quickly and easily through all available menus - and see their shortcuts, if that's what you're looking for. Not only is this solution compatible with every application on your computer (that has menu bar items), it is easy to use and it doesn't cost a penny extra.
Now some people may prefer to use KeyCue, and that's fine, but it seems to me a utility that you have to pay so much for should provide a service not already available in the operating system - or at least implement that service better than the OS does, which is the case with some third-party products. Personally I see no advantage to KeyCue whatsoever. If I'm wrong, feel free to enlighten me.
