Last August I wrote about using FastScripts to bind OS X services to function keys. I had wanted to use Alfred but at the time it didn’t support assigning actions to keys. Now it does.
FastScripts has worked very well for me but, now that Alfred lets me launch things with function keys, I don’t need it anymore. It’s always good to remove software.

I deliberately leave out distractions like Mail and NetNewsWire.
