Hey Guys,

I've finally released my MacRuby app, Keymando, to the App Store!

http://keymando.com

What is Keymando?
----------------

Keymando is a full-featured input mapping and automation tool for OSX.

Keymando Uses
-------------

Keymando is for productivity junkies, programmers, and any else who wants to
start using their Mac more efficiently.  Here are just a few uses:

  - Map familiar shortcuts and hotkeys from one application to another.
  - Use mnemonics to trigger automated tasks.
  - Text Abbreviations.
  - Vi-style hjkl navigation throughout OSX.
  - Automate Skype logins and phone calls.
  - Quickly insert dates, times, and other data.
  - Disable application hotkeys and shortcuts.
  - Pretty much anything you want using Ruby to write your own commands!

Features
--------

  - Map Keys – Allows for the mapping of key presses to other keys or other
arbitrary commands.
  - Filtering – Create a set of key mappings for a single application or
group of applications.
  - Dialogs – Set a global hotkey that prompts for user input then act on
it.
  - Ruby – Use the easy-to-use programming language, Ruby, to configure
Keymando.
  - Plugins – Write your own plugins to command your Mac to do what you
want.

Plays Well with Others
----------------------

Easily integrates with applications like Quicksilver, Divvy, and any other
application on OSX.

  - Quicksilver
  - Divvy
  - Any application in OSX!

History
-------

Keymando was originally named ViKing due the ability the application had to
mimic the vi editor's navigation style in OSX, a navigation style that kept
users' hands on the home row instead of the arrow keys.  Over the last few
months ViKing underwent a re-branding effort into its new name, Keymando.
 This was done because the application has matured into a very useful
product that is not only useful to vi(m) users but to everyone.

Future
------

  Version 2 of Keymando is under active development with exicting new
features that include:

  - Recording and playback user interaction.
  - Complete framework to access UI controls.
