Abstract
When a keystroke is detected where the detected keystroke is part of a combination of keystrokes that represents a keyboard key combination, a list may be displayed. The list may include a list of subsequent key command modifiers available for the detected keystroke. The list may be displayed so that the list does not obscure the area of focus or the active process display, or reduces the amount of the active process display that is obscured. The key combination can be selected by various methods. If no response is received within a pre-determined time period, the list may be removed from the display screen.
