The icons border on creepy. The documentation is almost useless. Bottom line: It's brilliant - best in class - makes QK look stupid! Allows automation of things that were previously un-automatable. So fast that macros feel like they're part of the app - not some bolt-on. Buy it.

Brilliant app that has totally replaced QuicKeys for me. I automates dozens of text strings for me and I'm only scratching the surface

You can change the horrible PC looking grey hand icon/logo to a smart new one from here http://www.iconaholic.com/downloads

Overall highly recommended

I downloaded KM to solve a particularly difficult and complicated task that needed (and still needs) to be repeated many times. It involves copying data from a google docs spreadsheet and then switching browser windows to a database that had a web front-end. I had no prior experience developing macros. First: KM is utterly intuitive to use, and, of course, extremely powerful. Second (and perhaps more importantly): Peter Lewis was INCREDIBLY helpful to me in developing and tweaking the macro (which runs probably 25 discrete operations, including regular expressions). I never felt like he had had enough of me, even though, in essence, his "hourly rate" (dividing the price of the software over those hours of help) became minuscule.

So: I can honestly say that KM is an extraordinary piece of software, that can do virtually anything you want it to do. The biggest challenge is to figure out what you might want to automate. I have now "discovered" many repetitive tasks that I have automated, some that I never even noticed before I gained this tool.

I highly recommend this software.

Keyboard Maestro is an incredible tool. It can automate any number of tasks and you don't need to learn complex programming languages to get started. Of course, for the more advanced tasks you can leverage things like AppleScript.

Imagine being able to hit a hotkey and have programs launch and open files and resize their windows and move them around the screen ... all this is just the tip of the iceberg with Keyboard Maestro! Try it and you'll love it if you have any tasks on your Mac you would like to repeat with ease!

FYI:

Version 5.1 adds a For Each action, which allows you to loop over a range of numbers, the Finder's selection, files in a directory, lines in the clipboard, a file or a variable, and more.

Changes for 5.1
• Added For Each action allowing looping over a variety of collections.
• Added Developer ID Signing for Mountain Lion Gatekeeper.
• Added Percent Encode for URL filter (Clipboard & Variable).
• Added text token processing to button names in Prompt For User Input.
• Added text token processing to Open URL and Search & Replace actions.
• Changed the way String Mathching/Reg Ex menus are named.
• Changed icon for Display Text and Mouse actions.
• Disable changes to the Global Macro Group which were not allowed anyway.
• Fixed case correct Insert Text by Typing in applications like Screen Sharing.
• Fixed a crash that could happen if a text factory no longer exists.
• Fixed lock up when entering quoted strings in calculations.
• Remember the location of the Recording window (again!).
• Made yet more changes to the HID code to try to handle the system crash.
• Extended DisableAnimation to include the macro palette.
• Left justified the text in the text display window.

Peter,

As I've said before, thank you for this elegant software, which, as another reviewer says, does just what you say it does...and it's fun.

Your timely, personal response to support questions is as good as it gets!

I think Keyboard Maestro might be an excellent subject for a David Pogue "Missing Manual" book. The possibilities are endless.

Keyboard Maestro is everything that Peter Lewis, developer of Keyboard Maestro says it is. I have used it for years and the macros have saved me a phenomenal amount of time. Time = $$$. I am presently using Maestro version 5.0.3 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2 and getting solid performance. The few questions I have had, Peter responded to promptly and VERY thoroughly. If time is important to you . . . use this program!!

KM is amazing. At first I tried it to make Lotus Notes behave with the keyboard, but after exploring more of what it could do, I now cannot live without it. And the developer is VERY responsive via the discussion list. Fantastic user community.

Awesome application. I got it for one project in particular, but I've keep on using it long after the project ended. This is an amazing automation tool! Love it!
