No, my script just shows you the assigned hotkeys in the currently active
set file.
I have loaded scripts where two scripts attempted to use the same hotkey.
If one script has already registered a hotkey, that script will continue to
function properly, while the second script will not.
There is no warning error message.
The easiest thing seems to me is that the user will just have to install a
new script, read the help, and if the hotkey for the script does something
else, one or the other will need to be changed.
When you think about it, everybody's mix of scripts, and even customized
Window-eyes hotkeys, and personalized system hotkeys are different.
With so many scripts, there are bound to be conflicts.

I don't think though that either script will tell you which hotkeys are in
use by your current set of scripts right? I don't know about your script
Jeff, but Jamals says it looks at the shortcuts on the desktop and the
menus.
It becomes even more confusing because some hotkeys are application
specific, and so may or may not even be a problem for you if they do
conflict, depending upon whether your script uses application-specific
keys
or not.
I have always wondered if, you try and register a global hotkey, and
another
script is currently using it, whether the registerhotkey method will
return
an error or not. seems that it should, but I've never asked that
question,
and the docs don't say.

Jamal has a script called
Detect shortcut keys
Which will give you a list of all of the system hotkeys that are defined.
I have a script that I have just finished called WEHotkeys Which will give
you a list of all of the Window-Eyes hotkeys that are defined in the
active
set file.
I will be posting it shortly.

Hi:
I believe there is already a script which will do that. The name escapes
me
right now, but you press a hotkey and it gives you a list of all the
hotkes
of the scripts that you are running.

Sometimes, you find yourself writing a script, that uses a hotkey,
that
others wanted to use, or already are using, as well. Of course, when
releasing a script, you want your default hotkey not to conflict with
any
other scripts.
I just thought, that it might have been an idea, if there was
somewhere to
look up a list, of which hotkeys are already 'taken' or occupied by
default.
How about a spot on the WIKI, or something? Or, could it even be so,
that in
the process of registering and uploading a new script - or version of
a
script - to the SC, you would have to fill in a field holding info as
to
which hotkeys your script occupies by default. And then, the server
would
automatically register these hotkeys in a list, that new scripters
quickly
could access, and make sure that they pick an 'available' hotkey for
their
project.
Anyone have som feedback on the idea?
