LLSCOTTS Sorry about the link... I haven't had a chance to add it to my blog site yet. I've changed the link to point to my old software page.
About the slowness... Yesterday my server was having huge problems because of heavy load. I think it's better today. Once I have a chance to learn how, I'd like to convert the database to use CoreData rather than an external database, which will of course make it much snappier.
Also, xCuts isn't designed to handle character code shortcuts. If there is enough demand for that, I can add that later. One of the main areas of enhancement will be to add a broader array of keyboard shortcuts... for example, for Quicksilver, Mail, Safari, etc. As stated in the intro text, this covers the usual type of shortcuts that Apple includes in its own documentation.
