Why are such simple but useful features like "show in Finder" and "Copy Path" missing in the paid NuKit app? Navigate to a folder by simply typing the folders name is a great feature too I would love to see in the paid NuKit app!

The features you mentioned will be implemented in NuKit. Unfortunately we can't give an exact date of the release.
NuKit 2.0 is being prepared for a release.

Going to the dev's website also confirms that the current version is 1.1.5, so maybe the 1.2 announcement was a little premature.
Hopefully this will get updated correctly soon.
I am hoping that the 1.2 release fixes the keyboard/right click freeze that the previous reviewer mentioned and which I have experienced on several occasions too.

However, I have the commercial 1.1.5 version installed for a while and doing a check for updates manually tells me I am up to date.
Unless they have decided to make it only available through the app store now which would seem unfair as I bought my license via MacZot and so do could not update that way without paying up for a new license. Hopefully the 1.2 update will appear via the non-App Store route at some stage.

"A Mac App Store 1.2 version is quite the same as a non-MAS 1.1.5 version."
I have no idea why they decided on this numbering scheme as it just causes confusion, but I thought I'd pass on the info as it seems that we are in effect still fully up to date with 1.1.5

This feature will almost certainly appear in the very next NuKit release.

However, a few little things could be enhanced/adjusted imho.
1. Get rid of the massive help tooltips as they cover almost the entire workarea in preferences and - at least to me - are rather annoying. I constantly have to move the mouse in order to get rid of the tooltips. Help is available via the helptray, so why tooltips anyway?
2. When I want to modify a launcher command or add a new launcher command, as soon as I choose from the command type dropdown, the intro window jumps to the lower left corner of the screen. It still works but that's very annoying ;-)
3. Give us the ability to add search engines on our own. The given list is o.k. but I'd rather add some search engines or other sites I'm using often which are not in the list.
4. Add magnetic edges (as an option) for window moving/resizing like in Zooom. Makes moving/resizing so much quicker and intuitive.
5. Add a preference to get rid of the app being listed in the Command/Tab open app-list (you know what I mean). MenuCalendarClock has a preference that allows for this so it can be done. After all, this is a keyboard launcher, right?
6. The popup hint for Caps Lock doens't work for me (or am I missing something?).What does the popup hint look like? Is it a Growl notification? Could be due to the fact that I'm on a Logitech KB/Mouse Combo. But it should still work, shouldn't it? The command to the OS when pressing Caps Lock is still the same, no matter what keyboard.
I'm on a MacBook Pro w/ OS X 10.5.8
Keep up the good work!

We need some screenshots for better understanding.
Thank you.

(as for the numbering, refer to my initial post above)
1. The tooltips don't show up anymore. The only reasonable explanation I have for this (the massive tooltips showing at first launch of NuKit) is that my system somehow "translated" the helptray content of the app into additional tooltips and showed them hovering above the preferences window. As of now, they don't show anymore. Apparently my fault and not the apps "misbehaviour".
2. This happens sometimes, and other times it doesn't. Possibly another glitch in my system. Mailed the dev some screenshots.
3. Adding the possibility to add search engines on our own would be awesome. I stick with this proposal for future enhancements of the app.
4. Another proposal for enhancing this already pretty nifty app.
5. I was too quick to write this. Apps icon only shows in the menubar and nowhere else (not in Dock and not in Command/Tab). My fault. Sorry!
6. Where and how the popup hint for CAPS-Lock is supposed to show I'm still trying to figure out. Mailed the dev about this.
All in all I'm having fun with this little app. Definitely adds a good amount of productivity to my workflow. 4+ stars and will get 5 stars if possibility to add search engines is integrated (if possible at all).
