FKM includes a font/DA like utility for installing/removing, renaming and renumbering FKeys, lets you access them via a pop up menu and lets you use as many FKeys as you want. Very impressive, and it works with Suitcase. Switch-A-Roo 1.2 is an Fkey that lets you instantly toggle between 2 monitor settings. For example, I like to have 256 shades of gray available most of the time, but not when I use Red Ryder, since it makes text scroll slowly. Now, I can boot up w/256 grays and switch to 2 simply by hitting Command-Shift-5. I'm also trying out the Directory Fkey (v1.0) which is very much like DiskTop, but 1/4 the price.
