Re: [Finale] TAN: QuickKeys or iKeys?

[Darcy James Argue]

Hiro, the interface isn't just "inconsistent from iKey 1.x", it is an 
absolute mess.  *Everything* is a sequence -- it's no longer possible 
to create a simple one-step shortcut without jumping through all kinds 
of hoops.  You can no longer type in keyboard shortcuts (if they 
already exist in another application) -- instead, you have to select it 
from a massive pop-up menu of *all* of the keyboard shortcuts you have 
already programmed.  The organization of shortcuts is just ridiculously 
confusing and non-intuitive -- as I said, it's the WORST user interface 
I have ever seen in ANY application EVER.

I'm sure there are all kinds of "power-user" features added to iKey 
2.x, but their interface is so arcane and frustrating I have no desire 
to find out what they are.  Macro software is supposed to make me 
*more* productive, not require me to spend days trying to figure out 
how the hell it's supposed to work.

As I mentioned before, I have been pretty happy with iKey2.0, and I am
really curious what it is that bad about.  Granted, the GUI is far
inconsistent from iKey1.x, but Finale did that so many times, too!
I am just curious.  Maybe I am missing something, that some power-user
would do much more with iKey1.x?
