HelpText - Hotkey Management Tool

For when you just get too many hotkeys....

HelpText is a tool that helps you keep track of your hotkeys by listing the hotkeys available when you hold down the modifier keys. It includes a GUIText class that is also useful for on screen messaging.

I've used this now for about a year for running bi-weekly streaming sessions with multiple instructors, cameras, assignments, media, etc. AutoHotkey was a life saver to get things done quickly between multiple computers and programs, but I started getting so many hotkeys I couldn't keep track of them. I created this tool to help me do so, and it worked quite well.

Try it out:
https://github.com/luddd/AHK_Hotkey_HelpText

It is implemented like this:

Code: Select all

; Hotkey script
MsgBox This is the main thread
Gosub, HelpText

!#^+t:: ;;Show test;;
MsgBox test
return

!#^+h:: ;;Show hi;;
MsgBox hi
return

#Include HelpTextFunctions.ahk ; make sure its in the same directory or lib

It can also be executed solo and/or include multiple AutoHotkey scripts.

I also want to say thank you to everyone on autohotkey.com for your help with all my scripting efforts, as I am definitely a beginner programmer, and had to refer to this forum quite often.
