when I'm chatting, I want to type out smilies, but I don't know them, so I ahve to pull down that menu and click on the one i want.
 
Weird, the help file for the current version of AIM is apparently out of date regarding smilies. It says that when you pull down the list by selecting "Insert | Smilies", it shows the keyboard equivalents, but it doesn't when I try it.

I also discovered that if you've got them disabled on your side, you can't select them from the dropdown menu.
