TEKL  Great App, but I'm missing some stuff:

- A command to paste plain text (remove all formatting)

- A way to launch and toggle show/hide or launch/quit Apps with one gesture/hotkey

- More advanced hot corners (Dragging a file to a corner will show the desktop, but only when dragging)

- A way to assign F13 to F15. BTT tells they are in use, but they aren't

- Assigning commands to the mouse buttons of the Mighty Mouse

LJMAC  Does this thing allow me to disable multitouch gestures in carbon aps? I am desperate for a way to disable multitouch in InDesign CS4 on 10.5. If this software can do it, then I beg you: please make it available for 10.5!

THEKIDFROMTHEREDBANK  0.5.7.2 does not download for me as of 24/05/2010.

And the update from within the software fails, too.

FISHSCALE  Is BTT going to become shareware of a sort when 1.0 is reached... although you do upgrade numbers correctly... four digits after the period. 2 months of good frequent updates and we only jumped from .56 to .57. Definitely an app I use and would pay for. Just curious, thank you Andreas!

AV  I was told it will remain freeware or maybe a very very small price. And the developer is entitled to change his mind. I hope he doesn't but it is a fantastic piece of software so far - got to give credit where its due.
