Guess you're doing it to flex your ahk muscles?
Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you could pop up an existing viewer:
https://theguide.sourceforge.net/features.html

Or simply open a text file in Cuda itself, in a floating group.

Or display your hotkeys in sortable columns, using Cuda's plugin Configure Hotkeys. It can also generate a html cheat sheet with a matrix overview (among other views).

Haha... I spent way too much time looking for a simple viewer, but I was searching for some rather stringent requirements. The one you linked is very nice, but I was hoping for something that had no extra screen components; i.e. no sidebar, no menubar, no toolbar, etc.; just maybe a title bar. The AutoHotkey one I'm building is just that, though admittedly it is limited and doesn't have a search feature like the one you linked, which would also be nice. Some here might remember, from the old DOS days, Qedit, which had such a help feature that I am trying to mimic.

At your suggestion, I tried a CudaText floating group, but I keep getting an Access Violation.

As for the Configure Hotkeys plugin, I'll need to give that one a look...

Thanks for all the input!

Nothing wrong with re-inventing the wheel.

Please, give me steps to repeat the A.V., must be a bug.

On Windows 10 x64, using CudaText 1.186.0.0 x64 maximized, with several tabs open in a single group, none of which are modified, go to Command Palette, type float to see those commands, select "groups: move tab to group floating-1", and execute it. A new window appears with the tab in it, and immediately an Access Violation dialog opens.

Thanks; did not see the A.V. on linux, in 1.186.2.

Ops, you have 1.186.0 - but Stefan helped to fix the similar bug!

1.186.2 (2023/03)
- fix: crash on calling "move tab to group 2" from Command Palette (thanks @Stefan)

So please re-test with 1.186.2, I see its very similar bug.

That's it! Problem resolved, thanks Alexey and Stefan.

Good quote. Who's it from?

Btw, I linked you to Scratchpad, because it comes with the source.ahk. The ahk forum also has plenty of barebone code snippets, as you probably have discovered yourse
