Hello,
I may be asking for a flame, but I'd like to be able to access all menu's and dialog buttons via the keyboard. Windows has ALT key combinations like ALT+F to access the file menu. Has anyone written a app that will allow this sort of functionality on a Mac (OSX or 9)?

Is this even possible with the Mac OS?

In case you are wondering, I have an RSI and am trying avoid using pointing devices.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi djcoolbreeze,

I guess you could try Connectix' Copy Agent (CA) utility, which includes a "TurboKeys" feature. It should be a good fit for you, if that feature provides anything like the on-the-fly menu/keystroke mapping that used to be available in their now-defunct Connectix Desktop Utilities (CDU) suite back in the days of System 7.x. Unlike the old CDU, the modern CA is apparently compatible with "pure" Mac OS 9.1 (althoough I don't know about Mac OS X or its Classic subsystem).

Regards,

--Paul
