Suddenly I feel the need for QuicKeys.. But I'm wondering...

Will this be a waste of $99 if Automator (in Tiger) will do essentially the same thing?

(I guess I can get the 30 day free download of QK and then see what Automator can do when it arrives (supposedly on 4/15))

But anyway.. thoughts? What about the long term survivability of QuicKeys?

It doesn't look like Automator allows you to set up hotkeys, so QuickKeys still has a use as far as that goes. You could even set it up to run Automator scripts.

I recommend the better (and more modestly priced) Keyboard Maestro or iKey instead of the overpriced QuicKeys for full GUI scripting -- or even just the much-recommended, lovely, and free Quicksilver for hot key triggers.

I don't think Automator will kill any of these macro applications, FWIW; it's a slightly different beast, isn't it? But I should really wait until I get a chance to use it before making any grand pronouncements.

Aside from price, what is better about iKeys or Keyboard Maestro?
