Menu Master is a haxie that allows you to change or remove menu shortcut keys in any application with ease. It takes about 15 seconds to learn how to use Menu Master, and saves you lots of time later because you can use the shortcuts you defined and do not bother remembering which ones the developer of the software invented for you.
Additionally, you can set shortcuts to any menu item that had no shortcuts, or remove shortcuts from menu items.

I have purchase this program back in 2009 for my PowerBook G4, and recently I have problem with my computer, so I reinstalled Leopard again, but I need PPC compatible version of Menu Master. I have sent them email two times during the summer (August 2011), I have included my order# and asked if they can send me the latest PPC compatible MM, but there's nobody from these email (unsanity@unsanity.com, feedback@unsanity.com, support@unsanity.com) have replied my question. I had to go for a wild goose chase online to get my self a free copy of the last PPC version of MM from some legacy software site. I have been a fan of Unsanity's haxie products, but I am very disappointed with their support!!!

The problem is that it relies on Rosetta. My understanding is that Lion will no longer support Rosetta. So, for those of us who wish to move up to Lion, MM will be useless. And experience - for many many years - has shown that Unsanity takes forever to update its software. I know there are some people who are willing to wait to upgrade their OS until Unsanity catches up. I'm not one of them.
Every time there's an OS update, Unsanity has the same amount of time as any other developer to get ready. Yet they're always the last one out of the chute. And whereas their products are often innovative - I do admire MM for what it does and the ease of it all - the fact that they took forever to update it for SL and still had to rely on Rosetta suggests that something isn't quite right. Deskovery, for instance, is able to do windowshading without Rosetta; why can't Unsanity also do that? (I think Unsanity's program is better featured, don't get me wrong. But when Lion comes out, I'll at least be able to still windowshade without having to wait for Unsanity.)
Of course, it doesn't help that Unsanity also has a bad record of customer relations. They don't write back; they don't post updates on what they're doing. Nothing. (Go to their home page. Their last web log update was Feb. 2010.) It's one thing to offer a good product. It's considerably inappropriate to let your customers hang forever without a word when things stop working.
So whereas I am willing to praise what they have now, I'm not so sure such praise will be much longer lived.

The BEST outcome would be for Apple to consider building similar features into the OS.
Doesn't seem very likely though does it ??

The new Menu Master almost got me to break my pledge to never again install an Unsanity product. Apple's Keyboard Shortcuts feature is very tedious to use (and fails completely if an app has menu items with the same name in different menus).
With Lion on the horizon, I'm unwilling to switch back to Unsanity and then wait a year for Lion compatibility.

I didn't know about Apple's Keyboard Shortcuts until now, and though it may have some shortcomings, I'm more than happy to work with the built-in functionality of the OS than risk the glitches that Application Enhancer seems invariably to bring.

this functionality included in 10.5-10.6.
System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts

- manually add the application
- remember it's exact Menu Title / command
- then do your shortcut.
With this, you're already in the application and just Ctrl click in the menu again that you're already in to put the keyboard shortcut in. Far easier to visually see what you're doing than the round-about way Apple wants you to do it IMHO. If Apple comes up with something as simple I'll be using it obviously, until then yhat's why I paid the few bucks for the Haxie and have been very happy with it over the years.

replace apple system events with own.
in result more instability OS.
you change you keyboard shortcuts every 5 min?
I don't think so.
in my case better one time spend 2 min for create/change require shortcuts in system preferences than using another background applications and getting problem.

May I ask what or where you're basing this data on please?
Activity Monitor states between 0.00% - 0.10%CPU for any of their Haxies (on a quad core MacPro) that I can see anyway and most of the time they're asleep.
I'd be interested in your hard data to prove your point.

Although this takes slightly longer to configure, it's worked just fine for me (and is FREE):

It's definitely much easier than Apple's method of assigning or changing keyboard shortcuts.

DooooD!
mm = drop down random menu anywhere & touch the shortcut once. done!
mac =
1. open sys prefs
2. keyboard pref
3. scroll list of shortcuts to find a button the make a new one.
4. oh damn - did the app's menu word/command that you 'have' to type in have those little three dots after the word? shit...let me close outta this sys pref window and go look.
5. then you need to put these new shortcuts into a folder list view separated per app or global (boy, that's gunna be confusing) - so now i need to click this button t make an untitled 'new' app folder to store these prefs in the sys prefs window.
6. untitled = type in name of apps or open a dialog box and navigate to the app.
7. then the apps sits and waits for YOU to select it's final easy step to finishing this One painful shortcut and that's to do what you would have done on step two, the final step, in menu master's app and that is............
..........type the short cut
you know, it's very funny to me when an app (or an OS for that matter) makes the process of "shortcut" creation LONG!
HA!

It shows which shortcuts you override when assign one - and it's so easy to use!
"Haxies are bad..." I never had any crashs that could be blamed on the haxies I use: Fruitmenu, Menu Master and FontCard (on Tiger and Leo).
