Mac Monday became Mac Saturday this week as I waited for input on 1.18.6. I was able to build a newer demo for OSX. If you have a Mac running OS X 10.11, 10.9, 10.8, 10.7, or 10.6 I would greatly appreciate it if you tried the demo and let me know if it works (or doesn't.) You can find the OS X demo here: http://www.gearcity.info/download.php?f=...1.18.6.dmg
Between now and yesterday I implemented approximately half of the Hotkeys, including all Global Hotkeys and Local Hotkeys for the Office. Currently all Hotkeys are static. Meaning they can not be changed. I may leave them this way as there is a lot of them.
Global Hotkeys occupy F1-F10, ESC, and END. These keys are the same for every "state" of the game. So for instance hitting F1 anywhere in the game will take you to the Office. Hitting F2 anywhere will take you to the RnD. And so forth. We also include commonly used functions, such as Save (F7), Save As (F8), a List of Hotkeys (F9), and a way to open the Quick Game Menu (F10)
Escape was already implemented in 1.18.6. This key will allow you to close opened windows and bring up the Game Menu if no windows are open.
Finally the END key can be used to simulate 1 game turn anywhere in the game without the need to return to the Office.
Local Hotkeys allow you to open specific objects or menus inside a "state." These keys are used by holding down CTRL or ALT and using the numbers 0-9 (not including keypad numbers.) Currently the Office is the only state of the game that has these. I will implement more sometime in the next few days.
Some example of these are CTRL-1 = Mega Menu, CTRL-2 = Auto Commands, ALT-1 Sales book, ALT-5 = Sales Book Charts, etc. In all there are 19 Local Hotkeys for the Office.

good human beings save the world, so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal.
