Well, I really do need to overhaul it at some point because a lot of people expect for it to work in the more usual way of doing the keystroke that you want to set, and a lot of people won't read help file stuff.

This is great news that it's fast and responsive - that seems to be one area that this particular porting mechanism is good at doing.

Yeah - it's somewhat that way actually on the Windows side as well - that it doesn't particularly follow typical Windows UI conventions there either. That's kind of an advantage at this point though since it doesn't look overall as weird as a regular Windows program would running under OS X. That is until that file open dialog comes up which really does stick out like a sore thumb. I definitely want to try and get the native dialog working, I don't think it will be too much work.


Anyway, I'm really glad that it's working well for you so far!
