Shortcuts, How You Like Them

Menu Master is a background utility that lets you quickly (and I mean quickly) modify the keyboard shortcuts that are associated with menu items. Here's how it works: Pull down a menu and hold the pointer over the item you want to change. Enter the keyboard shortcut that you want to use from now on.

That's it. The shortcut is now changed. Really, that's—it!

Ever since I got my Mac I've been trying in vain to find a way to dial the Internet and hang up using a single key; with Menu Master I made key combinations that were the same for both tasks and then made a Butler keystroke macro to invoke the key combination using just the asterisk key on the numeric keypad.

I involved Butler because Menu Master won't allow single-key shortcuts.

Tap one key to connect. Tap the same key to disconnect. This is (don't laugh) thrilling for me.

There's a preference pane for Menu Master where you can get an overview of the menus you've changed, and restore menus to their original state.
