Using more keystrokes to enter a more specific query is likely to be faster than selecting manually with the methods below. Shortcat is designed for a query to be entered that ideally returns the desired result at the top, making for fast and efficient actions. Typing the 1-3 letter shortcut will select that element. If you don't know what you need to type to select a certain element, Shortcat will (by default) display all elements and their automatically assigned shortcuts, highlighted in black-on-yellow labels after 2 seconds (configurable). For example, if you want to only see Link elements, you can add link to the end of a query. You can type a few letters of the element you want to click on, and Shortcat will use fuzzy search quickly filter the desired elements. Shortcat will enumerate your current active window's UI elements, the current application's menus, and all open windows and applications. To activate Shortcat, use the key binding you have set.
