SOS - Shortcuts On Screen

Have you ever missed your favorite keyboard shortcuts when you were in tablet mode? SOS to the rescue.

Download this free onscreen keyboard program in zip format from this site:

http://www.dannyburbol.com/SOS/

Danny Burbol has put together a great onscreen keyboard which you can easily customize to suit your needs by editing a text file which comes with the program.

Once you you unzip the file you will have the SOS executable file and the text file which provides the profiles that make up the many keyboards which come with SOS. I recommend that you download the video which shows you how to customize SOS. The video is packaged in a zip file so you can't stream it from the site to watch it, but it is worth the effort to unpack it and watch it. Danny takes you step by step through the process of creating a profile and points out that there is a full onscreen keyboard which you can use to cut and paste any keys you might want to add to your own profiles.

You'll find the SOS forum at the bottom of Danny's Forums Page:

Danny has a Photoshop Profile posted in the forum. As of this date there is little posted in the SOS forums, but that may change once tablet users discover this great little program.

One of the chief concerns about using a tablet with tradition photo editing software is the inability to use keyboard shortcuts. Now you can create your own keypads to provide you with just the shortcuts you need.
