I’ve had a few AHK hotkeys that I’ve used for ages, and don’t have to think about remembering them, but now that I’ve been developing new scripts I’ve started having issues with remembering them. So I’ve been through a few processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop-up Help MessageBox <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This was my first attempt at keepinmg a record, having a help pop-up box assigned to a hotkey (that you also have to remember) that would show what keys you’ve mapped to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sort of OK, but you have to keep editing the text in the popup to add new keys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep popular ones in one file and have a menu for ones you don’t use that frequently. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This second method hd merits. Yo9u had your standard hotkey file with all the ones you used regularly, and made a pop-up for ones that were useful and you’d only use them intermittently. So you’d use a button or number to activate them from a list, the one below is triggered by the F1 key to pop it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This had merits in that if you used one of the items regularly, you could move it across to your main Hotkey file and so you’d only have to learn one new Hotykey at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, for the ones that you used less frequently, you could have a Hover Tooltip to explain what a particular script did. So this could sit in the background and be called up when you wanted it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AHK Command Picker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I then came across AHK Command Picker<\/a><\/strong> by Daniel Schroeder and he has some video’s on its usage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
