Using Keyboard Jedi - 1 minute guide By Roy Osherove (Roy at Osherove.com) Blog: www.osherove.com

You may use and distribute this program freely as long as you do not change it in any way, including credits and associated text files.

1. Double click the program exe file
2. Adjust the opacity by using the slider at the bottom
3. As you click keyboard shortcuts, the last shortcut will appear at the top.
4. Mousless Mode[optional] Key Jedi can help you overcome your fear of the keyboard by disabling the mouse for the currently active application. Pressing the special "Mousless" global key (default is ctrl-shift-alt-F12) will make sure the mouse can never leave the confines of Key Jedi window as long as the application which was selected when the key was pressed is still active. For example:
   • Open Visual Studio when Key Jedi is running. Make vs the active app.
   • Press Ctrl-shift-alt-f12
   • Key jedi will tell you you are in mousless mode for vs.
   • Pour mouse will be "held prisoner" in the bounds of Key Jedi.
   • You will only be able to use your keyboard to operate VS. Use this mode to force yourself to learn keyboard shortcuts instead of using the mouse.
   • If you alt-tab to a different application your mouse will be free.
   • if you alt-tab back to VS, your mouse will lock again.
   • Press ctrl-alt-shift-f12 again to regain mouse control.
