Desktop shortcuts from FastKeys macros

I'm getting old and forgetful. This may be a simple Fastkeys solution and I apologize if it is.

I have created enough FastKeys shortcuts to have a list too large to recall...so I made a graphic image as a "cheat sheet"...making a representation of a keyboard with "text over keycap" to remind of where I assigned which shortcuts.

This graphic is a permanent background image on a small tablet I have set-up through Windows "System-Display"

It works great until I forget it is not a literal click and run shortcut, but a reference image to the Keyboard shortcuts I have programmed.
With me? I've been trying to use my graphic as if it were interactive.

If I have yet to confuse you, here's my question: Could I actually DO this?
IOW: Make visible desktop shortcuts of my FastKeys macros?
IOW: Make Clickable VISUAL desktop shortcuts of my assigned KEYBOARD shortcuts?
Example: If I have assigned "CNTRL+ "G" as my keyboard shortcut to, send/run/command FastKeys to (do something), Can I make a mouse-clickable desktop shortcut (bypass the keyboard) to do the same thing?

Hi Kevin, you could create a start menu or a toolbar.

Marko,
Is there a way to copy all my shortcuts and paste them into the Start Menu module?

Yes, in the Text Expander module. Select items, right click and select “Copy to Start Menu”.

But I can't seem to do it from "Shortuts" which is where all were created and saved?

Sorry. I got it. Like I said, I'm getting old.
