xCuts 1.1 Keyboard Shortcuts Utility
xCuts is a utility for looking up Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts, something that recent switchers from Linux or Windows probably need to do quite a bit!This new version (1.1, July 2006) adds a section on Windows shortcuts that lets you look up the Mac OS X equivalent. Also new is a section of shortcuts for the amazing Quicksilver application. I, for one, still need help with these though I’ve been using Quicksilver daily for nearly 6 months!
This widget lets you easily browse or search the contents of its MySQL-powered database, which it accesses over the web using Ajax. The xCuts are organized by Category, Scope, and Object, and you can even drill down to a second cross-referenced level if you need to. Or just use the fast live search form!
The xCuts are organized by Category, Scope, and Object, and you can even drill down to a second cross-referenced level if you need to. Or just use the fast live search form! xCuts includes tips on the use of certain shortcuts, and it’s designed to let you copy and paste shortcuts to external documents. This resizable widget uses the terrific Script.aculo.us effects library to work its visual magic. When you’re done, click the title to compact xCuts down to a tiny lozenge for later use. Note that the widget does not cover character codes at this time, nor does it cover text-editing shortcuts. These are application-related shortcuts for the most part.
New in version 1.1:
• Adds Windows shortcuts, which you can lookup to find Mac OS X equivalent.
• Adds shortcuts for Quicksilver.
System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
System Support:
PPC/Intel
