Create a screen-locking keyboard shortcut
Authored by: Explosiv0SX on Jul 15, '05 08:20:41AM

Don't forget to make sure you command drag the keychain menu status item to be the leftmost item. This is the only way I could get this hint to work.

Is it me or is the OS X shortcut keys functionality lacking? Why do I need a 3rd party utility to bind cmd+opt+ctrl+t to launch the terminal app? You'd think we would have seen some improvement from Panther to Tiger in this area, but alas, nothing. If I'm missing something, please feel free to enlighten me. Don't know why someone would need this? Imagine being able to create a universal shortcut to an applescript or launching your address book from anywhere with cmd+opt+ctrl+a.

You can use One Key, Spark, Quicksilver, etc. to do this.

Yes. And all of those are third-party utilities.
