2empowerFM Keyboard Commander Can Press Keys or Link Hotkeys to Scripts or Variables

2empowerFM Keyboard Commander is now available. Get hundreds of handwritten names entered more quickly than with mouse clicks by using Alt-N to launch your New Person script, Enter to commit the person, or Escape to cancel.

Unlike FM Advanced Custom Menu keyboard shortcuts, you aren't limited to control-key combinations and you can even override FileMaker's default response to keys like Ctrl-N on a per-layout basis.

There's no need to create small scripts for each hotkey - Keyboard Commander can set a variable and continue the script you left paused.

Help confused users get out of Preview mode by having Keyboard Commander press Alt-L (layout mode) when the user clicks anywhere or types anything.

Keyboard Commander can also press keys to activate menu items from your script that can't otherwise be activated in earlier FileMaker versions.
