As Ferris Beuller said, if you have the means (and almost all of you do), I highly recommend it.

How and why do they pick Adelaide? There are some (small) cities around Perth.
Depends on your definition of "city". Is Geraldton or Bunbury a city? Not by European standards, though maybe by the US definition. To a Brit, those are towns, probably even small towns.
The term "big city" is more specific. That's a major city, probably with skyscrapers. Population is probably close to a million or more.
The term "metropolis" is even more specific. That's a really big city, one of the top 20 in the US, to give a rough sense. Chicago, New York, Los Angeles are metropolises. Denver? It's a big city, but I don't know about metropolis.
Keyboard Maestro and BetterTouchTool have been my favorite Mac utilities for many years. One tiny example: I use hidutil + Keyboard Maestro to map my Caps Lock key to CMD+Tab. I found that constantly hitting CMD+Tab throughout the day caused me some wrist strain. So instead, I now map my Caps Lock to Keypad 0 using hidutil. And then I use Keyboard Maestro to invoke CMD+Tab everytime Keypad 0 occurs. So now, CMD+Tab i…
> A second example: I use 1Password, but sometimes some apps or sites DO NOT allow me to paste my password. Ugh. So I use a Keyboard Maestro macro to type out my copied password. Now that I think of it, I hope they're not stealing all my passwords! ;-) This is something I haven't thought of! Thanks a lot for the tip!

It just types out whatever is in my clipboard. I use it for copying and inserting credit card numbers and passwords, since some sites don't allow you to paste into those text fields.
Lots of people are saying how they love this app. I'd be interested in reading examples of how people are using it. I wish the author provided the source code, even if they continued charging money. Based on the functionality I'm guessing it'll require enabling accessibility, which means it can essentially hijack your computer. I've been slowly whittling down my usage of closed-source third-party apps in order to red…
Here's a modified idea, perhaps still not good enough but hopefully a step down the path. When you purchase the product, you receive access to the source code for the version that was then-current one year ago. Granted, you are not sure the current code doesn't have malware. But you can be confident, based on the history of the product, that it did not have malware for a long time. (And were you really going to scan the diffs for each release for malware anyway?) You could also allow trusted third-parties under NDA to review all diffs for the current code base and certify that they didn't see anything malicious.
This also ensures that should your company disappear, at the very worst, the user community will have a not-too-old version of the software to fall back on.

In the US, we are loose about the term "city." The "city" I live in has a population of I 76,000. The neighboring town, Fort Collins, has a population of 164,000. But in 1990, my town, Loveland, only had 40,000 residents and I still would have called it a city. The term "big city" is more specific. That's a major city, probably with skyscrapers. Population is probably close to a million or more. The term "metropolis"…
The next town along from where I grew up in the UK is about 80k and is in no way a city...
I really want to get into these types of apps as I think it will greatly improve my work speed. But I am always afraid of becoming over-dependent on these tools. I commonly change environments in my work, so I often have to adapt to new systems. If these tools are somehow portable via usb/internet sync, I think I would start to use them more.
