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.
