If this is already covered, I apologise - I have looked!

My aim, which I hope is realtively simple but suspect is not, is to use f1 to f8 to bring up 8 different menus - appearing at the location of the mouse - each will have a simple text list of commands that when picked will execute keystrokes - some of these will have additional flyouts with additional commands..... bascially laid just like the windows start button. - (if possible there would be no pick involved but a "hover" to select the command, thats not critical but a nice to have..)

Does anybody know of a script that loosely resembles that, or several that do that I read to follow the logic of how to do this. Any advice greatly appreciated - I only started using this yesterday and feel a little swamped at the moment but am more than happy to have serious go at it..

err simple... well maybe sometime for me it could be, having started yesterday - not really. I have as you suggest been looking through the help file but as you can imagine its rather in depth and a lot to try and digest. Thanks for the small pointers

adapted from Example#1 of the Menu-Help
Code:

Menu, MyMenu, add  ; Creates a separator line.
Menu, MyMenu, add, Item1, MenuHandler  ; Creates a new menu item.
return

MenuHandler:
MsgBox You selected %A_ThisMenuItem% from menu %A_ThisMenu%.
return

F10::
MouseGetPos, PosX, PosY
Menu, MyMenu, Show, %PosX%, %PosY%
return
