Quickeys or Keyboard Maestro or ?

[BMann]

I have used Quickeys in the past but have not upgraded for several years. Needless to say I am looking into a new Macro Program and could use some input on what you like or dislike about either program or if you use something else?
I know this is a matter of what you are used to and personal taste, but I am in the dark right now?

Thanks for your help.

I use quickeys and it works quite well on my leopard 10.5.8

pt without quickeys - a no go in my mind

Got Quickeys, too. Running MacOSX 10.6.4. Works great.

Couldn't be without it anymore.

How do you use it with Pro Tools, like what do you use quickeys for?

for all and everything

here are some examples...
- switching screen-sets and edit window view
- assigning keystrokes to menu-only commands
- assigning quickeys to workflows (f.e. rename region/file and export...)
- new playlist, duplicate playlist, next/previous playlist
- tool selection
- some zoom-functions
- show: all tracks, only audio tracks/midi tracks/aux-tracks, selected tracks only
- call up some Audio-Suite plugs

- new playlist, duplicate playlist, next/previous playlist

How did you get this to work? I never could, I'm on 7.4.

Thanks,
Brad

I can mail you my quickeys, then you can inspect them

As a side note, you can do these with the OSX keyboard shortcuts manager.

Preferences --> Keyboard and Mouse --> Keyboard Shortcuts
