Have you ever wanted to create a custom keyboard shortcut for a Mac App but the app you’re using doesn’t let you modify their keymap or perhaps their interface is too cumbersome to use? For example, if you are running the Google Chrome internet browser on your Mac and you want to refresh the page with the F5 key, there is no way to do that from within Google Chrome.

I have a Sony STRDN1060 Receiver and although I have a universal remote (Logitech Harmony 650) which I like very much, I find myself still using the Sony remote to switch inputs. However, the default inputs labels of SAT/CATV, GAME, SA-CD/CD didn’t really match up to the actual devices I had hooked up to those HDMI ports. I have a TiVo, chromecast, and an Apple TV. In order to simplify my life so I don’t have to remember which input matched up to which device, I used a label maker (Brother Printer PTD600 PC) to change the labels on the remote.
