Pressing Win key is registered, but it doesn't bring up the Start menu on Windows 10. Using the latest version of the gist.

@erlangp Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice your comment.

This can be easily done.

OnKeyPressed:
	try {
		key := GetKeyStr()
		; ShowHotkey(key)
		; SetTimer, HideGUI, % -1 * DisplayTime
		ToolTip(key, DisplayTime)
	}
return

ToolTip(Text, sec) {
	ToolTip, % Text
	SetTimer, ToolTip_Remove, % -1 * sec
	return

	ToolTip_Remove:
		ToolTip
	return
}

I am wanting to show this only when my own script performs a hotkey press to show the action performed. Is there an easy way to make it a function that allows me to pass in the text to be shown in the window?

keypressOSD.ahk - Is innovative Autohotkey Script - I do like it, and it is very good Written by the Programmer, the Structure of the Coding is TipTop. - if you run this Script it will Monitor All you Keyboard and Mouse Movements On the Desktop Screen (to the bottom of the active Window) - this is a Must Have for Any Body that make Video Tutorials.

@jasondavis Just extract CreateGUI() and ShowHotkey() functions to your script. Or use this:

Loop {
	Random, str, 1, 9
	osd.show(str)
	Sleep, 1000
}


class osd
{
	static init := osd._initGUI()

	_initGUI()
	{
		global
		Gui, _osd:+AlwaysOnTop -Caption +Owner +LastFound +E0x20
		Gui, _osd:Margin, 0, 0
		Gui, _osd:Color, Black
		Gui, _osd:Font, cWhite s50 bold, Arial
		Gui, _osd:Add, Text, vHotkeyText Center y20
		WinSet, Transparent, 200
	}

	show(Text, GuiPosition = "bottom")
	{
		WinGetPos, ActWin_X, ActWin_Y, ActWin_W, ActWin_H, A
		if !ActWin_W
			ActWin_W := A_ScreenWidth

		text_w := (ActWin_W > A_ScreenWidth) ? A_ScreenWidth : ActWin_W
		GuiControl, _osd:    , HotkeyText, %Text%
		GuiControl, _osd:Move, HotkeyText, w%text_w% Center

		if (GuiPosition = "Top")
			gui_y := ActWin_Y
		else
			gui_y := (ActWin_Y+ActWin_H) - 115 - 50

		Gui, _osd:Show, NoActivate x%ActWin_X% y%gui_y% h115 w%text_w%
	}
}

@edbridle Thanks.
