Ah, really glad to hear that someone's discovered an alternative to QuicKeys. I spent a few days using it and was a bit underwhelmed, this sounds much more powerful. $36 doesn't seem like a pricepoint that's through the roof, but so far as I can see there'd be no way to tie these macros down to a serial to sell your work on as the HSC folks have started doing on Windows. Don't get me wrong, I'm half glad about that, but it does make me wonder how much input the effort would get if the only return scripters will get are donations or helping their fellow human.
