  1. Re:Unpopular opinion by michaeldot · · Score: 1 · on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive?
    I would rather use default OSX over default Windows, but give me a customised Windows, and I'll take it over any other OS.

    I suppose you do know you can customize OS X as well, don't you? Everything from WindowShade to Desktop Manager to LaunchBar to Quickeys and a few thousand others!

    I agree with your point though: "people are most productive in whatever they're used to, and whatever suits them." I hope that's the theme that emerges from this Slashdot discussion.

    I've used Xkeys to make hotkeys for AppleScripts. If you want to go whole hog for the function-key automation, there's QuickKeys. You can automate pretty much anything since QK can automate more of the GUI than AppleScript can, which is saying something.

    Xkeys is freeware (Beer, no source as I recall), QuickKeys is commercial.

    As for hiding the mouse pointer, I can't help ya there - I didn't see anything on Versiontracker, maybe try sourceforge.

    Being able to edit the shortcuts for menu commands is a pretty nifty feature in its own right.

    QuicKeys X + Applescript + UIScripting = Blow-your-mind-power in a GUI.

    - Automate *anything* (applescript + UI Scripting).
    - Trigger it any way you want. (QuicKeys)

    With no command line BS to put up with.

  6. Re:AppleScript by guttentag · · Score: 3, Informative · on Automatic Functional Testing for Mac and Linux?
    How about QuicKeys? When I couldn't get AppleScript to translate spoken commands into certain keystrokes and mouse clicks in my mapping program, I found that QuicKeys was able to do the job. (I ended up using AppleScript for the Speech Recognition input and QK to manipulate the interface)

    Someone mentioned server load testing earlier... if that's what you're looking for, remember that Mac OS X is basically a pretty window manager on top of a flavor of FreeBSD -- you can have cron automate shell scripts and perl.

  7. QuicKeys X by ktlyst · · Score: 1 · on Automatic Functional Testing for Mac and Linux?

    for mouse events, you can try QuicKeys X from CE Software for Mac OS X, anyway. It can enter text, too, and launch applescripts.

    There's always QuicKeys

    At $60, you might think it a little pricey to solve a single keystroke issue, but overall it's one of the best utilities available for the Mac.
