As the title says, lazy as I am, I intend to set up a long list of hotstring for replacing. Obviously, it'll be hard to recall all of them. So I'm in search of a hot key which causes a pop-up list of all my hotstrings as a reminder.

Is it possible? I don't know if AHK can put tooltip-like text box next to where you type (cursor position), but at least the pop-up reminder should not grab focus from input area.

Thanks in advance for your help.

A ToolTip might be kind of wieldy depending on how many hotstrings you have but here's an idea:

Code:
HSList =
(
hlo = hello
gbye = goodbye
stpit = stop it
bqut = be quiet
dntwry = don't worry
bhpy = be happy
)

!q::
MouseGetPos, Px, Py
ToolTip, %HSList%, % Px - 125, % Py - 125
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, 3000
return

RemoveToolTip:
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, Off
ToolTip
return

Thanks for the idea. It works (except that I move the HSList declaration after ^q:: line and then it's OK).


Gonna try to make it to some function which on one hand, create hotstrings, on the other hand, put them into the reminder tooltip.

How about a hotstring helper menu?

This might fail your requirement about focus though...
