Cheatsheet for Mac: Shortcut Manager

Do you hate having a bookmarked PDF or notepad with all of your app cheatsheets? I used to have a Google Docs spreadsheet that was just full of them, but it became increasingly difficult to sift through and find what I was looking for. By that point, I might as well have not used the shortcuts at all.

That is why I love that I found Cheatsheet, an app that actually handles all of those shortcuts for you. It runs in the background, and any time you want to check the cheatsheet for any app you are using, you bring up a page of the shortcuts. That's it...super easy to use, and full of useful key combinations you didn't even know existed.

Akai Pro LPK25

Sometimes using Garageband or any recording software on your PC or Mac can be difficult if you don't actually have any instruments to use. You can always put together a beat using the prerecorded functions in whatever program you are using, but for those of you who want to take recording your music a step further, you may want to consider the Akai Pro LPK25. Akai is a brand used by many well known bands and musicians, for example Foster The People. Akai makes a wide array of products ranging from full sized keyboards to minature midi keyboards much like the LPK25. It is plug and play so simply plug it into your PC or Mac and open your recording software and begin playing. It can even be connected to the iPad for use in Garage Band but this requires the camera connector kit.

Type Super Fast on iPhone or iPod touch with BTstack

Anyone with a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch can now type with any wireless Bluetooth keyboard with BTstack. BTstack is a $5 app found in Cydia under BigBoss. This is another great app that I'm sure Apple will support at some point, but why wait? If you can type 80 words per minute, then you can type that fast on your iPhone. The Bluetooth app syncs and pairs easily with your keyboard allowing you to then type in Notes, Safari, Mail or any other app.

Tap the icon with a picture and label of "keyboard" and it begins to scan for Bluetooth devices. It should find your keyboard within a few seconds. Simply tap to select it and away you go. It's really amazing how fast things are moving along in the mobile industry. Soon I suspect the keyboard will fold into a nice rectangle that fits within the back of an iPhone case. The BTstack keyboard is just one more little step in mobile computing. I made a quick video to show this app in action. How long until Apple adds a native app to do the same function?
