I have to say that KBar for @AdobeAE is one of my must-have tools. The 2.0 update is huge! Multiple toolbars, keyboard modifiers to get more out of buttons, easier configuration, and more. Get it on @aescripts now! https://t.co/AYc8hXKmAa pic.twitter.com/7TLsDArO0H

Not paid for or anything. I just rally, really love KBar and think everyone needs to see the light.

Yes! Kbar has allowed me to remove so many ScriptUI panels from my interface. It's really helped me simplify my work environment. https://t.co/Ur8dz8KOnD
