Hi Michael,
You're right -- I forgot that you can also use the function keys. But you cannot, for instance, program a keyboard shortcut like "control-F" or "shift-option-A". Every shortcut has to involve either the command key or a function key, which to me makes the feature almost useless.
Well, that and the fact that it doesn't work in Finale in the first place.

The annoying thing is that, if you define a keyboard shortcut for Finale using the Mac OS "Keyboard Shortcuts" function, it shows up in the menu and the title in the menu bar flashes when you press the shortcut, but the command isn't actually executed.
In some other apps it's useful and you are not in fact limited to shortcuts involving the command key: I programmed some shortcuts for TextEdit with just function keys and they work fine.

Hi Johannes,

I don't think I ever tried it, but you can define keyboard shortcuts for any app under Panther.
Unfortunately, no you can't. I think it only works on Cocoa apps? Or maybe it works on *some* Carbon apps, but not all. Anyway, it doesn't work in Finale. (Nor does it work in Sibelius.)
Also, there's the (deal-breaking, for me) drawback that all shortcuts programmed in this way must involve the command key.
Hopefully, Tiger will be better in this regard. It would be *really nice* to have OS-level support for user-customizable keyboard shortcuts in any application, but we are still a long way away from that.
