About Leader Key
Leader Key opens a configurable sequence of shortcuts after a trigger key. Instead of searching for an application name each time, you can build predictable combinations for your frequent actions.
The developer now focuses on a separate successor, Tuna. Leader Key remains available as its own free, MIT-licensed application.
