For leaderboard stuff, I like using DBI and just make your own custom tables for tracking the data. Though, for something that simple, qglobals would probably work fine if you did it right.

As far as having a hotkey, I am sure you could do it via a custom AA, but that would also require a custom dbstr_us.txt file if you want the correct hotkey name and such to show up for them.

Alternatively, you could just add an EVENT_SAY to your global_player.pl script in the templates folder and use it to parse # commands. I haven't messed with it much, but quest parsing # commands was recently added by Akkadius and really opens up some cool options like that. Then, players could create their own hotkey to do something like "/say #leaderboard" and you would handle your popup menu from the EVENT_SAY.
