Lee is passionate about using hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts to get to actions quicker when using his Mac. Remembering them all, however, can be a tricky affair. Not so if you use Ergonis' KeyCue, a highly customisable utility that allows you to view a list of application and system hotkeys with the touch of a button.

In this video, Lee shows you how to configure KeyCue not just to view hotkey combinations, but also files and folders, Typinator (Lee's preferred text expansion tool) abbreviation sets, emoji tables, lists of URLS, and more.

KeyCue requires macOS 10.12 and newer.

Using keyboard shortcuts is something many Mac users do on a daily basis, to speed up their workflow. But remembering them can be challenging, especially the ones that are not used often. This is where KeyCue can come to the rescue.

PopChar X and Typinator are also part of this productivity bundle from Ergonis Software. Organizing and inserting special characters easily, and expanding abbreviations to longer bits of text is made a lot more convenient by using these long-standing apps, which offer many advanced features.

In this week's show, Lee Garrett walks you through the basics of this handy and powerful trio. He shows you how to install and set them up on your system, and gives you some examples of their use in your daily workflow.
