I don't really need SYSTEM shortcuts....

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I would like a shortcut guide for the PowerToys' keystrokes which I have a hard time remembering.

Scenario when this would be used?

Obviously, whenever PowerToys is active.

FWD @niels9001 What would you suggest?

How about one shortcut that displays all the others? Or better add an additional key press to invoke the function you want to avoid successive chorded keystrokes. For example ALT+WIN+P to display the list and then T to make the last active window topmost. This way one only has to remember one chord. Note that this will become more of an issue as more and more functions are added. Thanks.

I would like to make a suggestion: to have an easily accessible location with all the Powertoys shortcuts. It's difficult to memorize all the shortcuts and we have to open the settings to remember which shortcut belongs to a certain tool.

Another suggestion would be the option to define custom shortcuts for the tools on the system tray icon.

What about #24880?

In fact, what would be needed was something like https://ergonis.com/keycue for Windows. So that the guide shows the hotkeys that the currently active application has registered. That would be a game-changer!
