To be honest, I'm not sure how successful the keyboard shortcut windows have been and I suspect that they're not being used a great deal. The main problems as I see them: - They're a special place you have to go to with the specific intention of learning shortcuts. This isn't something that a lot of people do, especially for simple apps. - They aren't playing the role of a quick reference, since we haven't successfully advertised how to quickly open them (ironically, this is through a shortcut). - They're often available in simple apps where keyboard shortcuts aren't that interesting. This negatively reinforces how people perceive their usefulness. One option would be to reframe the shortcut windows as purely a quick reference for keyboard shortcuts. As part of this, we'd need to publicise the shortcut for raising the shortcuts window (possibly by exposing it in the menu). I realise that you probably have an interest from a Games perspective, but I think it would be fine to special-case that and come up with a bespoke solution. Allan
