QuickPop does just two things, but was designed to do them very well. This program performs functions that will benefit any Mac user and is extremely simple to set up and use.
The first is to allow you to assign “Hotkeys” to up to thirty (30) Apple Menu Items, control panels, applications, FKEYs, documents, monitor depth (colors) or speaker volume settings. When the “Hotkeys” are pressed from within most any program, the selected item will instantly launch (or change speaker or monitor settings).
The second is to allow you to have a menu pop up anywhere on the screen when you hold a key (option, command, control or shift in any combination) and click and hold down the mouse button. From this pop-up menu you can launch your favorite documents, applications, control panels, FKEYs, Apple Menu Items, change monitor depth (colors) settings, change the speaker level or switch to any other running application.
Some uses for QuickPop:
* Change monitor settings (for those games that require
different monitor settings) and assign a single key to
instantly switch to 16 colors, 256 colors or Black &
white, whatever you need!
* Have a key (or keys) to turn the speaker off or to a
different level, no need to go to the Sound control panel
anymore!
* Launch your favorite application, document, control
panel, FKEY or Apple menu item at the touch of a key
(or keys).
* Keep your favorite FKEYs in files rather than installing
them in the System file. Place aliases of the FKEY files
in the QuickPop Folder and you can launch the FKEYs
with any key(s) you set up!
FEATURES ADDED TO VERSION 1.1:
* Print “Hotkeys” list
* 30 available “Hotkeys” rather than 5
* Change monitor depth (colors) from QuickPop pop-up
menu or a “Hotkey”
* Set speaker volume level from QuickPop pop-up menu
or a “Hotkey”
NEW FEATURES FOR VERSION 1.2: (by popular demand!)
* Can now use any key(s) for a “Hotkey” (even without
a modifier), including the function keys on extended
keyboards
* Can now open FKEYs from the QuickPop pop-up menu
or a “Hotkey”
* Aliases of FKEY files can now placed in QuickPop Folder
and the FKEY within that file can be run from QuickPop!

This is Shareware
This is shareware, an honor system which allows you to try it before you buy. You have 30 days to try QuickPop. I've put lots of time and effort into creating and updating this utility. If you use this, please send in the requested registration fee of $5 for each copy. Thank you for your support.
PS: If you send in your fee, you'll feel really good about yourself and life in general :-). If you continue to use it without paying, your conscience will continually hound you until you finally do send in the fee, so why wait?
