Hi Robert,

QuicKeys has a 30-day demo, and you can use iKey unregistered for (I think) as long as you want, so long as you are willing to put up with a nag screen. I think both can do what you want (sequences within sequences), so why not futz around with both and see which one best meets your needs?

Of course, don't even consider downloading iKey 2.0. It's horrible beyond words. AFAIK, you can still download (and purchase) 1.x, and that's the only version worth considering. Obviously, using an older version of the app is cause for concern, since it means you're stuck if iKey 1.x ever stops working (because of an OS update, or whatever).

On the other hand, iKey is considerably less expensive. I really, really liked iKey 1.x, and II just wish they hadn't screwed up the interface so very badly in iKey 2.0. (Maybe iKey 3.0 will fix it... )

Cheers,

- Darcy

I'm preparing to convert from OS9 to OSX, and I will need to get an OSX macro program. Comments on this list from several months back suggested that iKeys might be better. But recently, it sounds like QuickKeys may be regaining the upper hand. Any current comments would be appreciated.

In particular, I have defined sequence macros that navigate particular dialog boxes. I then call these sequences from within other sequences. When I looked at OSX QuickKeys a couple of years ago, some of this functionality had not been ported. Can anyone comment on the parity of features between QK X or iKeys and QK9?
