If I forgot them, how to display them ?
Maybe like in a menu or something similar, even a simple message listing them should be ok.

Calling them from a keyboard key (like any "F" keys : on Fx keyboard press, the list shows up, and on the same Fx keyboard press again it disapears), it could also be displayed (loaded) on script load.

I searched and found some threads but I wondered if it was not built in, as it is a basic function that is very needed, but I may be wrong...

Also, as new member, I failed to use some of the solutions proposed due to my lack of understanding.

Did you try

I just found this in another post from another user:

[Elesar]

Please use the Ask for Help section in the future.

For a basic listing of hotkeys that a script contains, simply double click the tray icon of a script, then go to "view" -> "Hotkeys and their methods"

Sorry Elesar, I didn't post in the right thread, I'll pay attention from this point in time.

Hy awannaknow,
some time ago I saw a good script just to show the Hotkeys and Hotstrings. Don´t know the address.
But just search in Scripts&Functions, there you will find a solution for you.

Hy awannaknow,
you could use something like this instead:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41297&highlight=hotkey+list

or I think this is what you want:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41575&highlight=hotkey+list

or you use ActiveGoto, thats for PSPad, which editor I prefer:

Hy aaffe,

I already spent some times reading and searching and you came with posts I never saw in my search results !!!

Thanks for all the good infos, I read them, well almost all whole threads which takes time, and understood some parts, those which was not too technical (e.g : "ROFL", "How are you", etc... )

I fail to configure many goto scripts for the editor I use, Scite4autohotkey, but finally find TillaGoto which worked first time.
Althought I had not used it yet as I hadn't tried to script much...

It's usefull, but is not what I searched for :


Imagine you made a script that you cannot call script, for neophytes you'll give it won't understand anything other than "this is a software".
Otherwise you'll must plan a 5 days intensive course about "Day one : bit, bites, bytes, lexical differentiation and the resultings headaches graduations in trying to approach catching their true meanings. Day Two : Programs, softwares, scripts, ...".

I think you catch the problem.
Then, as you better absolutly avoid to confuse them at any price,
you also created your script in such a way that,
to avoid a new 5 days course about "what is a hotkey",
when they use the script, you implemented a way,
a simple way for a user, not a scripter,
of showing a list of Hotkeys AND Hotstrings with their respectives actions at least for hotkeys

It is infact just the commands users have to use to make the script works,
so they won't have to know them in order to be able to use the script.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't find it yet.
AutoHotkey is so full of possibilities that having this could really help in making scripts from it more usable for simple softwares users (like me ).
And also helps to widespread scripts more.
On the scripter side it should handle list creation and modifications automatically, not by hand.

This script will show a list of hotkeys and hotstrings by pressing Ctrl+Z, or by right-clicking the "H" in your tray and selecting "Hotkeys List".

To use it, copy the following script to the top of your existing script, and add comments to show what each hotkey or hotstring does. I've left the comments in the script to make it easy to understand and edit. Let me know if you have any problems.
