Hi Scott. I have to tell you that you've got a great thing going with that Hot Key. I have to admit that my torturous learning curve with Joomla prepared me to use your software effectively. Even then, Hot Key is more intuitive and easier to learn. I would guess there are general standards, by now, for the interface of programs like these. I think yours is as good as they come. Of course I have only Joomla to compare with.
