I've used Quickeys with Finale for a number of years -- the version available for the PC is 2.5, which hasn't been updated in several years. It's not as powerful as Quickeys for the mac, but it sure helps eliminate a lot of steps (I use it in particular with TGTools functions). JC

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.
