Such a Great Tool

Thank you for this wonderful app, I use it daily. It would be helpful if we could connect two lines together and be able to drag them at the same time.

Nice, but missing one CRUCIAL feature

I like this app, and it does what it says on the tin. My one major complaint, is that it lacks one very glaring feature: there's no way to assign a key command to the show/hide commands. This is infuriating, and something that could be so quick and fluid requires shifting to the app, and navigating to the top bar with the mouse to manually invoke the command. The singular addition of being able to show/hide via key command would really polish this app off.

Terrific Features and Implementation

Smart Guide has many useful featuers and it's implementation is very good. I use it a lot; it is veyr helpful.
The reason for four stars rather than five is that keyboard shortcuts for creating a new line confilct with system shortcuts. I assume they are intended to be global shortcuts. The app's shortcuts only work after clicking on the menu bar status icon, which defeats the purpose of keyboard shortcuts. The app does not provide the ability to change shortcuts.
