Here, have a play with this. Save this out to an AHK file and run it. Bring up any window and press F1. You should see the overlay and buttons for that window. You can keep pressing F1 over whatever window is active and the script will re-create the overlay for that window. It's more of a proof of concept for now than, say, final code. When you're done playing, exit the script from its tray icon. Bedtime for me but I'll check back in in the morning.
