I can’t remember how I found this, but its one of the most handy applications I’ve seen in a long time. KeyCue is a simple (Mac) program that allows you to press the Command (Mac, again) button in any application and it’ll retrieve a list of key-shortcuts for the application.
How many times have you watched someone do a quick keystroke to quickly do something you’re still using the mouse to do? Sure, I have lists of shortcut keys and the manuals and the help files to reference, but this is just super easy! Just hold down the command key (and nothing else) and a screen appears with shortcuts.
(KeyCue showing shortcuts in Finder — that’d be “Explorer” if they had it on a PC)
I like to keep some old computer stuff in my office as conversation pieces. Its funny to see someone walk by this “old” (usually about a decade old, if that) piece of technology and reminisce about he last time they saw one of those things.
I have to admit, I even find myself thinking about just how far we’ve come with some pieces of technology. Take the picture below for example.
The floppy disk holds 1.4MB of information.
The laptop is one of the first color laptops ever on the market. Its got a 486 DX33 MHz processor and about 10MB of hard drive space.
And the MicroSD chip that is smaller than one of the keys on that keyboard holds 1GB (or roughly 715 times as much information as the floppy disk does).
I stumbled across this new feature in Notes 7.0.2 the other day. Its a pretty small change but a nice reminder for end-users who might not realize they are about to open a potentially dangerous attachment.
