KeyCue overview

KeyCue has always been a handy tool for learning and remembering keyboard shortcuts. With a simple keystroke or click, KeyCue displays a table with all available keyboard shortcuts, system-wide hotkeys, as well as key combinations for triggering macros in Keyboard Maestro, QuicKeys and iKey. But KeyCue contains a bunch of new features that take KeyCue to a whole new level. Gone are the days when KeyCue was nothing more than a menu shortcut viewer.

KeyCue offers a flexible new way to define a wide variety of triggers, which can be combinations of modifier keystrokes and mouse clicks. These triggers can be used to perform different actions, like bringing up the KeyCue sheet for selected types of shortcuts, opening the KeyCue settings window, or other actions.

A completely new action that can be assigned to a trigger is to show a collection of your frequently used URLs. Simply define your own favorite URL collection together with your preferred triggers, and you are ready to use KeyCue for quickly showing a table of your URLs and invoking them with a single click. The mechanism has been designed in a flexible way to support further extensions in the future. So the URL collection is just the beginning of other actions that will be included in future versions of KeyCue.

  • See. View available keyboard shortcuts based on application by pressing the Command key.
  • Do. Simply type out the desired shortcut upon finding the appropriate action.
  • Learn. Develop into an efficient power user by remembering repeated shortcuts or discovering previously unknown actions.

v10.1 is out. "...Fixing a problem that the square bracket keys could not be assigned as shortcuts. It furthermore supports the new Emojis in Unicode 14.0 (requires macOS 12.3 or newer), and fixes a number of user-reported issues."

I use "Cheatsheet" (https://www.mediaatelier.com/CheatSheet/) which provides similar function and is free, totally free.

I find KeyCue and PopChar to be very useful and user friendly. I appreciate the developer being proactive in updating their apps for the latest Mac OS. I realize that they don’t get compensated for their time and work on some of these updates. I also appreciate that they have not gone to subscription-based licensing, where the customer does not get a choice.

KeyCue is a great assistant. It will show you all shortcuts, shortcuts by modifier keys, and also gives you a search window for terms. It's customizable with themes (you can create your own too). The developer is excellent, friendly and very helpful.
