Highly interesting approach! I have a suggestion: I'd like to have an option for showing ONLY comments in the popupw indow (for those actions you've actually entered a comment). Right now it gets a bit cluttered seeing both comments and URLs. I also find it hard to tell why some items are dimmedo ut while others are not in the popup.

@henrikcederblad Hi Henrik, thank you for your comment. I has just changed hint window's styles. The change will appear in next update. Basically, the strong (dark or bold) text means you haven't used this action for a long time. Dimmed text means you just used the corresponding action recently. About the option for showing only comments in hint window, I'm thinking about how to make it more customizable with less options. I'll message you via Twitter once I figure it out.

@henrikcederblad Hi Henrik, I couldn't reach you via Twitter. Here is a new version which hide URLs if comments exist in hint window. I hope this is what you want. http://d.pr/f/OmCAwS

For people who use Caps Lock or ESC as "hyper" key, this is a bigger "hyper" key, with nested keys support.

@cguo8 How do you cope with the spacebar function in Safari and QuickLook?

@t55 Hi Ton, Thank you for your comment. When users release spacebar without typing any pre-defined keys, SpaceLauncher will simulate a spacebar keystroke. So in most cases, spacebar functions work as usual. For typing spacebar once, this works well. But for holding spacebar, in Safari, holding will trigger scroll down continuously, in Finder, hold and release spacebar will close QuickLook. SpaceLauncher doesn't work. Sorry for that. I also want to mention how I cope with text input typing. While users are typing, SpaceLauncher is disabled. Once users stop typing, after 0.2 seconds (can be set), then SpaceLauncher become ready. This works for almost all text input cases.

Awesome idea, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. I see the black window, but the actions don't do anything.
