Improved Compatibility
PowerKey version 3 was completely re-written from the ground up to work with all modern systems. It is fully compatible with all versions of the Mac OS, including the new OS 8. It is PowerPC-native for higher performance on today's Macs. It supports technologies such as Balloon Help, Sleeping and AppleScript.
More Powerful Events
With PowerKey version 3, you can create a schedule of Events to automate many tasks. Each Event consists of a Trigger (when the Event will be executed) and one or more Actions (what the Event will do).
Triggers are much more powerful than in previous versions. Timed Events can execute just once, on any day(s) of the week you choose, on any day of each month, or on any interval between 1 minute and several weeks. In addition, Events can execute when you press a "hot key" on the keyboard, or when the system is idle.
You can limit when an Event will execute with Qualifiers. You can restrict Events to execute only at certain times of the day, days of the week, date ranges, or when the system is (or is not) idle. This lets you do things like, for example, turn your computer on every weekday morning, but not while you're on vacation in July.
Finally, each Event can run multiple Actions in sequence. In addition to starting up, shutting down and running QuicKeysTM, you can create Actions to open and quit applications, mount SCSI devices, and last but not least, run AppleScripts. This gives you access to a whole world of custom uses. You can make your computer automatically do what you need, when you need it!
New Interface
The new PowerKey Editor lets you harness all of this power with
ease. A window is displayed which shows all of your Events at a
glance.
Each Event includes a natural-language description telling you exactly when the Event will run, and what it will do. Simply double-click on an Event in this list, and the Event Editor appears.
The Event Editor lets you easily choose the Event's Trigger, Qualifiers and Actions. If you're unsure about any function, comprehensive Balloon Help is available from the system's "Help" menu.
