Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts
For the Mac, there's a neat utility that run in the background called
Cheat Sheet. https://www.grandtotal.biz/CheatSheet/ If you hold the command key down long enough, a dialogue box pops up that shows all the current keyboard shortcuts available to you at that point in time. Does anyone know of a similar utility for Windows? Or a good search phrase to find one? -- Ken Mac OS X 10.11.6 Firefox 53.0.2 (64 bit) Thunderbird 52.0 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"

Hi, Rene, Unfortunately, that gives you lists of the shortcuts, not software to install, from what I end up with. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.11.6 Firefox 53.0.2 (64 bit) Thunderbird 52.0 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"

I had no intention of using it myself, but since you said it was discontinued and didn't support anything after Win 7, I decided to go ahead and download it and use it on Win 10. It worked fine. ;-) Based on the screenshots, I don't think it does exactly what CheatSheet does, which is what I'm after. If you mean, does it run in the background all the time, ready for you to press a certain key combo so it can tell you all of the currently configured hotkeys, then no, it doesn't do that. Instead, when you want to see a list of all of the configured hotkeys, you run the program, it queries your Windows system, and it provides a list of each of the key combos that it checked, indicating which are currently configured and which are still available. That's probably better than what you're describing, but better is in the eye of the beholder.  Did I mention that it's still available and that it works on Win 10? If not, at least you know that your primary search term will be "hotkeys" and not "shortcuts", so that should help. Good luck in your search.

If you mean, does it run in the background all the time, ready for you to press a certain key combo so it can tell you all of the currently configured hotkeys, then no, it doesn't do that. This is what I'm looking for, and running in the background. Just to make sure we are on the same page... CheatSheet shows the active keyboard shortcuts available to you when you are active in a particular program, not all configured hot keys on the system. So, the popup you see when you are using Thunderbird, as I am now, is different than the popup when I'm in Firefox. Still different again when in Skype. And different when I'm on the desktop. Instead, when you want to see a list of all of the configured hotkeys, you run the program, it queries your Windows system, and it provides a list of each of the key combos that it checked, indicating which are currently configured and which are still available.

Ok, got it. According to the site I initially linked above, that's not possible with Windows. They give a few more details at the link above. Who knows, maybe someone else figured out a way to do it, such as the Nirsoft guy. Good luck.
