Some features I would very much like to see in future releases of Freeway:
Multiple Undos (Undo History)
Color Eyedropper Tool
Expanded Find and Replace to include find and replace styles
An ‘Apply’ button in the Styles Edit window so we can see changes without having to click Okay and close the window. This would be handy in other Edit windows as well.
These are really great suggestions although two you can do already.
Color Eyedropper Tool
Select Colors… from the Edit menu
Click the New… button
Click on the ‘use system color picker’ button (the color wheel icon)
Click on the magnifying glass icon at the top of any of the color
picker tabs
Click on the color you want to sample. It can be from anywhere on
the screen not just from within Freeway.
More hotkeys to menu items
Although you can’t fix this in freeway you can use the Keyboard &
Mouse preferences pane to add these
Open up the System preferences from the Apple Menu
Select the Keyboard & Mouse option
Choose the Keyboard Shortcuts tab
Press the + button to add an application and shortcut
Select Freeway from the Application menu or select Other… and
find the application
Add the text from the menu you want to add the shortcut to. This
has to be EXACTLY the same as it appears in the application for it to
work. I chose ‘Duplicate Page…’
Add your keyboard shortcut, making sure that it doesn’t conflict
with another already defined menu item
Now when you hit your shortcut the menu item should get triggered.

Wow! Thanks for that, Tim. I had no idea that magnifying glass would collect color. I never paid any attention to it. Great! That makes things much easier.
And thanks for the tip on the shortcuts. I’m going to use that for items I use a lot. I still wish Softpress would add more of them.
click in keyboard arrows move one pixel up, down,
left or right… with command + left arrow
decrease box one pxiel, and with right arrow
increase one pixel.
