A collection of free productivity-enhancing extensions that I've built for Adobe Fireworks using JavaScript, ActionScript and Flex. The most recent ones include:

  • Toggle Symbol Edit Mode (2011-10-16)

    Annoyingly, Fireworks has never offered a keyboard shortcut for editing a symbol or exiting edit mode once you were in it.

Assign a keyboard shortcut to quickly jump in and out of symbol edit mode. more...
