Hot Keys (Mac OS X only)

    File Buddy provides four hot keys to which it can respond while the Finder or other application is active.

    The available hot keys are:
    Open Find Window
    Opens the Find window. Use this to open File Buddy's Find window from the Finder instead of Sherlock. You may also find this useful from any application.
    Open Finder Selection in Info Window
    Open a single Info window for the items currently selected in the Finder.
    Open Finder Selection in List Window
    Open a List window and populate it with the items currently selected in the Finder.
    Open Finder Selection in Multiple Info Windows
    Open a separate Info window for each item currently selected in the Finder.

    All hot keys are initially off to avoid the possibility of conflict with keyboard shortcuts in other applications. To activate and configure File Buddy's hot keys:
    1 Choose Preferences from the File Buddy application menu (Mac OS X) or the Edit menu (Mac OS 9).
    2 Click the tab labeled Hot Keys.
    3 Select a hot key to configure from the pop-up menu of available hot keys.
    4 Activate the hot key by clicking the checkbox labeled "Use hot key below."
    5 Use the pop-up menu to the right of the checkbox to specify whether File Buddy should respond to the hot key only when the Finder is active, or when any appliction is active.
    6 Press the desired keys to use for the current hot key.
    7 Click Save, or select another hot key to configure from the pop-up menu of available hot keys.

    The change is effective immediately.
