QuicKeys is software that makes it easier to use your computer. With QuicKeys you can automate common things you do all the time. And you can automate tedious things you don't do all the time - things that are hard to remember.
With QuicKeys 4 you can automate your computer in two ways: Abbreviations and Shortcuts. Abbreviations, which are new in QuicKey 4, are words you type into a document that are then automatically replaced by QuicKeys with longer text. Shortcuts are collections of one or more steps that perform specific tasks on your computer.

QuicKeys is software that makes it easier to use your computer. With QuicKeys you can automate common things you do all the time. And you can automate tedious things you don't do all the time - things that are hard to remember.
With QuicKeys 4 you can automate your computer in two ways: Abbreviations and Shortcuts. Abbreviations, which are new in QuicKey 4, are words you type into a document that are then automatically replaced by QuicKeys with longer text. Shortcuts are collections of one or more steps that perform specific tasks on your computer.
Make a New Record: Shortcuts are the main way you automate your computer using QuicKeys. Shortcuts are very powerful, but are super easy to make. That's because QuicKeys can make them for you by recording practically anything you can do. All you have to do is tell QuicKeys when to start recording and when to stop recording. QuicKeys will then make a new Shortcut containing steps that reproduce your actions.
Of course, if you want you can always create and edit Shortcuts by hand. You can even edit your recorded Shortcuts later if you want to have them do something different.
One Small Step… Like we said, Shortcuts are collections of one or more steps. The steps in a Shortcut are the heart of what QuicKeys does. Each step in a Shortcut performs a specific task to do something on your computer.
Some examples are typing text, opening an application, clicking a button, or making a menu selection. For virtually anything you can do on your computer there is a QuicKeys step or a combination of steps that can do the same thing.
Let's Get it Started! When you want to use a Shortcut, you run it using a Trigger. The most common Trigger is a Hot Key. A Hot Key is simply a key on your computer keyboard that you press (with or without modifiers) that then triggers a Shortcut. You can set the Hot Keys that trigger your Shortcuts to whatever you want. QuicKeys also includes many other types of Triggers. Some of the other types of Triggers include Day & Time and Speech recognition.
Life's Better After a QuicKey So that, in brief, is what QuicKeys is all about. If you want to explore QuicKeys some more, download the fully functional free trial and try it out.

I've been patient, but I'm only going to give them a little while longer before they lose my business for good. With no word if or when an update will be available, we are forced to set our own time table on how long we will wait.
I certainly would not recommend purchasing QuicKeys until there's a Lion update (if that ever happens).

In my case, Quickeys crashes periodically on 10.7.x, rendering it useless.

Over the past several years Quickeys has lost functionality, speed and ease of use, as other programs advance.
The company is almost completely silent regarding Mac OS Lion, your money is better spent elsewhere, Keyboard Maestro, for example.
I am a paying, registered Quickeys user.

Given how long it's taking to make QuicKeys compatible with Lion and given how tight lipped Startly is being about this, it was time to say goodbye to QuicKeys.
It took all of about two hours to understand Keyboard Maestro and reproduce every single Quickey shortcut in KM. And I even like they way the palettes work in KM.
After all the years, it's not goodbye to QuicKeys.

Clicks on toolbars don't work. There were a few other issues.
Review of the QuicKey's forum didn't leave me with confidence as to the future, other than "we're working on it". If at this point, the don't have some clue as to how close they are to a Lion compatible product, after having months to work on it, then I just can't allow myself to wait for a product that may never appear.
I continue to be very pleased with keyboard Maestro. There will be no turning back for me. QuicKeys is definitely a thing of the past for me.
Good luck to all who are waiting for a Lion compatible product. I do hope it happens for you.

They also develop QuicKeys for Windows. I imagine that is a nightmare that requires a lot of their development time.
I'll be patient for the Lion update.

I've already ruled out the server since it happens with both RealVNC and Vine. And I know it requires QuicKeys to reproduce since I was using VNC for years before QuicKeys and never had this problem. Anyone else see this before? I just can't take it anymore. It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.
