Can I assign e.g. F9 to show the Favorites menu?
I have tried to create a hotkey with "Favorites SHOWICONS" but when i press F9 nothing happens.

To do this I'd go to customize mode and create a new toolbar, giving it a name of something like "Popup Favorites" and make it visible. Put one new button on that new toolbar with the command of:
Favorites List
Which will appear in the button command as simply FAVORITES. Then exit customize mode and configure that toolbar to be where you want, the size you want, and always on top in Opus.
Then go back into customize mode and open one of your Opus menus (or toolbars that are always visible) and create another new button there giving it a name of something like "Pop Up Favorites". For that button's command use this:
Toolbar NAME="Popup Favorites" STATE=float TOGGLE
And assign the F9 hotkey to it.
That does the trick for me.
Thanks JohnZeman. However I would like to show the favorites menu and select an item, without using the mouse.
The popup toolbar does not appear to allow me to select items using the arrow keys (like I can in the menu bar). And I cannot find a way of getting the keyboard focus to the toolbar.

Ah. Ok, to do that, then forget about my last suggestion and back in customize mode again create a NEW MENU on a toolbar some place. Assign a hotkey to that menu by putting a & before one of the letters in the label of the name of that new menu. For example if your button label is FAVS you can assign the ALT+A hotkey combination to it by making the label F&AVS
Then under that menu create another button that has the command FAVORITES. When you exit customize mode then and press ALT+A the menu should open and your should be able to arrow up down (and back up) through the favorites.
Note if the letter "A" is already used on another menu as a hotkey, it will conflict with your new menu. That's why I didn't use &Favs as a hotkey combination example because by default ALT+F is already used as the hotkey to open the FILE menu.
