I'd like to put a list of keyboard shortcuts I want to learn on my desktop wallpaper so I can show and hide it quickly by pressing Win+D.

I'll want to be changing the list quite frequently as I remove ones that I've learnt and add new ones, so I don't want something that takes too long to make changes.

What tools are there to do this?

I want one for mac, thinking of asking this question yesterday. Fancy adding mac os x to the tags and question? :p – danixd Aug 20 '10 at 10:12

A very useful and simple to use tool is BgInfo: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897557.aspx

You can either edit the text area directly through BgInfo, or you can have it read the contents from a locally stored text file.

Note: if you use the text file option, you'll need some sort of scheduled task to automate picking up any changes to the document

You're looking for http://rainmeter.net/RainCMS/ -- it lets you display text files on your desktop.

seems a bit overkill. Does it stay up when minimising windows with Win+D though? – Sam Hasler Aug 20 '10 at 12:27
