KeyCue - A cheat sheet for keyboard shortcuts
Authored by: Frederico on May 07, '04 04:13:56AM

I wrote to the developer asking about this too; he replied that the only way he knew to accomplish this was to maintain a static database of known (or reported) keyboard shortcuts (apart from those shown in the Menubar).

This would be completely useless, as a simple "maintenance update" from many a vendor has been known to kill a keystroke.

There just has to be a way to scan the app to find the keystroke library and keep it current and "dynamic".

Otherwise, yes, this app could be a -- no, THE -- killer productivity app; replacing the endless pile of printed pages from hints sites, keystroke cards from Adobe, Macromedia, et al, that litter media artists' desks the world over. Of course, any number of software instructors would lose a good chunk of their value, but, hey, that's progress.

See John Gruber's Losers, Weepers article. Developers should be encouraging Apple to revamp the underlying implementation.
