Press Release for 7 Jun 2013

Stairways Software releases Keyboard Maestro 6.0.1

Perth, Western Australia - 7 June 2013 - Stairways Software Pty Ltd is pleased to announce Keyboard Maestro 6.0.1, the new version of its powerful productivity enhancer for Mac OS X.

Version 6 continues the long tradition of putting more power at your finger tips, adding macro syncing, plug in actions, trigger by name, full support for styled text, support for controlling Safari and Google Chrome, a macro debugger, and much more.

Version 6.0.1 resolves a number of minor issues with Trigger by Name, Retina Macs, the conflict palette and other features.

Keyboard Maestro 6 adds macro syncing, allowing you to sync your macros across multiple Macs using Dropbox or other file sharing services, plug in actions, so you can write and share your own actions (if you can think of anything we do not already support directly!), trigger macros by name (by default bounds to Command-Control-Option-T), enhanced the conflict palette so you can easily select from multiple macros using the same hot key, full support for styled text, control over Safari and Google Chrome, Retina-friendly graphics, a great new icon from Iconaholic, as well as customizable status menu icons.

Watch the What's New Video on the home page to see some of the new features.

With over a hundred other improvements, there is bound to be something for everyone.
