What is Apptivate?
A simple, beautiful hotkey manager. Launch applications, execute scripts, run automator workflows and open files or folders. All of this at the press of a key combination. Apptivate 2.0 introduces hotkey sequences, which are simply a sequence of key combinations. In previous versions of Apptivate, you could only bind an item to one key combination/hotkey. In Apptivate 2.0, it's possible to bind one item to something like ^A + T, and another item to ^A + H. To activate one of the items, you simply press the key combinations in order: first ^A and then either T or H. This greatly simplifies your key combinations if you've got a lot of items.
Comments and Reviews
This app will not overcome pre-existing shortcuts, and it is for that reason that I don't use it. If you want to honor the shortcuts system wide, and for all 3rd party apps, then this seems like a pretty sweet app. For now I am continuing to use Spark, as it still works on OSX 10.11 El Capitan amazingly enough.
