There is NO context menu.
There are NO shortcut keys evident.
The link to the developers site is broken or non-existant.

Shortcuts are listed in the User Manual.

The ones referred to here (in the information drawer, wherever that is);
"Lastly, you can access a contextual menu when you command-click on the link in the information drawer. This contextual menu gives you the ability to visit that specific web page, copy the link to the Clipboard, or copy the link into your default email application, ready for sending."
"Shortcuts are listed in the User Manual."
I assume that by User Manual you are referring to the User Guide.
This doesn't say what the shortcuts are;
"The current image’s associated information is viewable in the right drawer window (opened and closed via a keyboard short cut).
• The APOD Index is viewable in the left drawer window (opened and closed via a keyboard short cut)."
I did stumble into the shortcut keys in the APOD Grabber menu item, but not in the Preferences where they are normally accessed and edited.
+1
Yes, the keyboard shortcuts are viewed under the menu items. I'll type them out in the user manual with the next release for others that have a hard time finding them.
The vast majority of applications I have installed and used do not allow for editing shortcuts. Command left and right seem appropriate, and no one has ever asked for anything different since the application was first released in 2003. I don't have any plans to add customization at this point.

So I grabbed the chance to see them in Mac OS X.
The software works, but the quality of the photos does not look as good as it ought to. Many seem to be grainier than other copies of the photos. Is it possible that in APOD Grabber they are enlarged to fit the monitor and my 15" LCD just makes them too big?
Otherwise the software is great. If anyone knows how to beat the problem , here's a chance.
