Automated Tasks
Multi-step shortcut Tools
| General |
 Triggers: hot keys,
sticky keys, toolbars, timers & quickeys
menu |
| • |
Use hot keys, which can be virtually any key combination, to
trigger your QuicKeys shortcuts. |
| • |
With the Sticky Key option, you can also string a
series of hot keys together for even more flexibility. For example
use F1->I->E to launch Internet Explorer and F1->E->M
to launch your e-mail application. |
| • |
Create toolbars that contain buttons for any or all
of your shortcuts. Like other triggers, toolbars can be for all
applications or application specific (the toolbar will only appear
when the specified application is open). Toolbar tabs allow you
to have one toolbar with multiple tabs - each containing different
sets of shortcuts. |
| • |
Set timers to activate shortcuts at a specified time
on any day of the week. Timed triggers can repeat at an interval
which you define. |
| • |
Launch shortcuts, open the QuicKeys Editor and control playback
of steps from custom menu selections in the QuicKeys Dock menu
or QuicKeys System menu. |
| • |
Shortcuts can be triggered automatically after a specific application
opens, quits, becomes front-most or leaves the front. |
| • |
Users can now directly assign shortcuts to buttons on a USB mouse,
trackball, joystick, and even special keys like Eject and Mute
on a keyboard. |
| • |
If a user has a microphone attached to their Mac, they can assign
a unique phrase for any QuicKeys shortcut, which when spoken will
activate that shortcut. |
| • |
QuicKeys Shortcuts can be saved as files and can now be used
in any toolbar application - even on the dock. This also allows
Shortcuts to be
played
by other
applications
like iCal or FileMaker. |
| • |
All shortcut triggers can now be tied to a time-range
qualifier. When this qualifier is grouped with another trigger
users can limit that trigger's
operation
to specified
time ranges. |
 Recording & Playback: |
| • |
With the recording feature, QuicKeys will watch and
record your actions so you can play them back at any time. This
feature is great for quickly automating longer, multi-step tasks. |
 Scope
& Subscopes: all applications & application-specific
shortcuts |
| • |
Designate shortcuts to work only in certain applications or in
all applications. |
| • |
You have the option of excluding certain applications from the “All
Applications” scope. |
| • |
In addition to being able to set the scope for each shortcut,
users can now assign subscopes for the different parts of the selected
application. For example, have the F1 hot key do one thing while
editing a document and have it do something else when doing print
layout. |
 shortcut Import & Export: |
| • |
Transfer your shortcuts to another computer or user.
Great for utilizing the same shortcuts on multiple computers or
for sharing your favorite shortcuts with friends or co-workers. |
 Public/Shared
Shortcuts: |
| • |
A new way to share shortcuts has been added, giving a whole
office the ability to be efficient together. Using Public Shortcuts,
administrators
can now publish shortcuts that users can easily subscribe to. Plus,
any changes made to these Public Shortcuts will be updated on each
user's machine automatically whenever QuicKeys is launched. |

| Multi-step
shortcut Tools |
 QuicKeys: insert
shortcut, quickeys actions, message, wait, pause & repeat loop |
| • |
Add an existing shortcut as a step within a multi-step
shortcut. |
| • |
Control different attributes of QuicKeys with a collection
of tools for working with the QuicKeys program itself. |
| • |
Display a dialog, play a sound or speak a message.
Can be used as a break point, built into a multi-step shortcut
so you have the opportunity to stop or proceed from that point.
For example, if you have a timer triggered shortcut which goes
off when you’re doing something else on your computer? Start
that shortcut with a Message step and give yourself the opportunity
to cancel the shortcut, but set it to continue after 10 seconds
if not dismissed. |
| • |
Pause your shortcut until a specified window, button
or user input is met. For example you can pause your shortcut until
a specific window opens. |
| • |
Pause a shortcut for a user-specified length of time during playback,
allowing you to time events better, ensuring QuicKeys does not
get ahead of the action. |
| • |
Repeat a shortcut or specified steps within a multi-step
shortcut. |
