How to make more hotkey shortcuts

Hi, i'm quite new with Autohotkey. I have always loved hotkey combinations to shortcuts to different programs and scripts I used many times a day. But as you know CTRL ALT WIN and letters or numeric including some Pause Break keys are only combinations allowed (in Windows OS).
I need more hotkeys. Anyone know a clever way to get more recent used programs/scripts
Maybe a Autohotkey script to show a shortcut menu to other scripts? I'm I overthinking perhaps

Hallo,
perhaps:
[Class] LongHotkeys (a & b & c & ...)
Have you already used Return key combinations:
Code: Select all
Return & 1::SoundBeep, 1000, 20
Return & 2::SoundBeep, 2000, 20
Return & 3::SoundBeep, 3000, 20
Return::Return
~Return Up::SendInput,% (A_PriorHotkey = "Return")?"{Return}":""
What are allowed depends on your keyboard layout. For me, for example,
ä & ü:: is allowed.

Well, easier would be to use programmable keys and buttons like Logitech G Keys.
But apparently you found another solution, so, good luck
Cheers

Thank you for that idea. But unfortunately most of the time i'm working just on a notebook keyboard for easy travel between locations and not carrying around any extra accessories.

If it is a touchscreen laptop, you can activate functions on your screen.
I have this on my Windows tablet.
5 Fingers on screen activates a big screen with functions.
No keys or buttons needed.
Cheers
