Is there a program with a graphical interface that can generate menus for applications? For instance, I would like to have an audio editor where pressing a specific key, like F4, displays a menu with text lines that I can paste. I need the ability to adjust font size and colors in such a menu, as well as another hidden menu accessible via combinations like CTRL+SHIFT+0. I attempted to use AutoHotkey, but it proved too complex for me; it took a lot of time and effort to create a simple version that now frequently breaks when I upgrade.

I've reviewed your message carefully. You're asking how to clarify your intentions since you seem confused about the actual goal. It would help if you explained precisely what outcome you're aiming for with this setup.

I need a program in which I can define that for example:
● after pressing F4 in Notepad a menu will show up with lists of short text, which after choosing one, will be pasted to a file
● after pressing RMB+MMB in any program another menu will show up in every program with lists of basic keyboard shortcut like CTR+C and CTRL+v, which after choosing one, will be executed
● after pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F23 in Windows Explorer a yet another menu will show with lists of [shortcuts to] particular folders, which after choosing one, will be opened

I am 99.9% sure there is nothing like that.
AutoHotKey seems to be the simplest option for you.
However, if that doesn’t work, you might not have much chance.

Absolutely. I've handled Autohotkey before for tedious or repetitive jobs, and once you get the hang of it and work through its oddities, it should be entirely manageable.

So what tools do you currently rely on? And would it help to include a link to a discussion about your AHK working codes, if you ever shared them on a forum?

I no longer use Windows, and AHK only functions on Windows.
There is the official Autohotkey user forum -
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/
But your situation is quite unique, and there isn't a ready-made code snippet that will simply work for you.
All my cases are quite different from what you describe here, and they won't apply.

Are there any programs that allow creating adaptable menus applicable across Windows and third-party applications? Something similar to the Paste Text feature in HotkeyP, but also supporting nested entries that function as buttons for key combinations when clicked?

It seems there are many methods to modify the system context menu. But tailoring each application's menu is probably not feasible, since the app itself uses Windows API calls to generate it. This means you’d need to resort to unconventional approaches, which could lead to issues if not handled properly.

I use Macro Express Pro. It allows me to build various Popup menus that execute different macros for a range of tasks. It demands a significant amount of programming work to reach your goals, but it should be manageable. Other macro programs exist that can do the same, though they also need some programming skills.
