Someone knows if there is an addon for visualize the shortcuts in blender?
I was thinking that could be useful have a panel to call to “See” the key in a context.
And see if E is unused for example
or if Q have only 1 shortcut
and if a key like R have more than 1 , be able to read them .
Like this
There is any way to have custom tooltips ? like the one that popup when we hover on a buttton?
Searching how get the shortcut from blender i found this post
but i am unable to understand how , search for all keymaps in blender and Rearrange them by Key.
something like this should give you enough information to go on:
import bpy
wm = bpy.context.window_manager
kc = wm.keyconfigs.user
def get_full_keybind_string(kmi, idname=True, props=False, include_idname=True):
output = f"{kmi.type} [{kmi.value}]"
if kmi.any:
output = "ANY+" + output
else:
if kmi.shift:
output = "SHIFT+" + output
if kmi.alt:
output = "ALT+" + output
if kmi.ctrl:
output = "CTRL+" + output
return output
keystroke_lookup = {}
for km in kc.keymaps:
for kmi in km.keymap_items:
keystroke = get_full_keybind_string(kmi)
if keystroke not in keystroke_lookup:
keystroke_lookup[keystroke] = []
keystroke_lookup[keystroke].append((km.name, kmi.idname))
for keystroke in keystroke_lookup:
print(f"The following operators are bound to {keystroke}:")
print("------------------------------------------")
for keymap, idname in keystroke_lookup[keystroke]:
print(f" {keymap} - {idname}")
print("")

Thank you very much man !
I am pretty sure that its all what i was asking for !
I will try to wrap mi head around !
thanks for your time !
Hi again, there are a lot of shortcuts that have the same “name” but with different attributes.
Some shortcuts are linked to "context attrivute " some other to “identifier” , and i have my own operator with a prop named “WORD”.
And for example , from the “Tool set by id” , i would like to know which tool he will set XD
I took a look at the blender api but as always i dont understand where search 
is this the wrong page?
https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.KeyMap.html?highlight=keymaps%20items
ah yeah, i almost added that to my example but left it out to keep things more simple- you can check properties on a keymap item, once you have the props you can compare them to see if they are the same or not:
propstring = ""
if hasattr(kmi, "properties") and kmi.properties is not None:
for key in kmi.properties.keys():
if not isinstance(kmi.properties[key], idprop.types.IDPropertyGroup):
propstring += f"{key}: {kmi.properties[key]}, "
else:
# this keymap item is actually a macro
propstring += f"MACRO: {key}, "
print(propstring)
