• hot keys — for example, hit [F1] make iTunes switch to the next track
• hot corners — for example, [shift]-[right mouse button click] in the lower left corner of your screen to pop up a menu that lists all system preference panes
• events — for example, launch iChat when Butler starts up and the [option] key is not held
