Launch Key

[This submission should replace /gui/launch-key-30.hqx.] What is Launch Key? ------------------- Launch Key is an automation utility that lets your Mac automatically do almost anything. You can configure it to perform tasks at the touch of a key (no matter what program you're in), at regular intervals (every Wednesday at noon), at a specific time (Feb. 11 at 11:30), or after a period of inactivity (similar to a screen saver). Launch Key is based around Actions. Actions perform a single task, for example, bringing the Finder to the front. A number of Actions are bundled, including ones to select menu items in any application, launch or open any Finder object, post messages, type blocks of text, play sounds, open URLs, send Apple events, quit all applications, switch the front-most application, lock all the your keychains, shut down your Mac, put it to sleep, and more. Actions are grouped together into collections called Sets that can be as complex as you wish. Some examples of tasks you might have Launch Key perform are: * Automatically initiate a system back-up at midnight of each day. * Archive important mail messages as you read them. * Launch all of your Internet applications at the touch of a key.
