I had heard about keyboard Maestro from a few sources I trust here and there and had made a mental note to try it. Finally, one day I got fed up with repetitive tasks, and I decided it was time to download it.

I am stuck using Lotus Notes at my workplace but I have the consolation of using a Macbook pro rather than a Windows machine. Still, even on a Mac, Lotus Notes is not, shall we say, famous for its beauty or usability or efficiency.

I installed Keyboard Maestro and I bought it within 4 mins, after setting up a really simple but wonderful macro that lets me quickly switch typeface color to blue in Lotus Notes (saving me three hundred thousand silly steps and wading through sub-menus). A slight exaggeration on the number of steps but not on the time to decide to buy.

I also smugly showed off to my colleagues how nice life has become.

Wonderful application, highly recommended. It will make you wonder how you lived without it.
