Or "Type <Alt>+H and <Enter>." or just "Type <Alt>+H"

It does make some sense.  Still, it requires a new mechanism for
specifying hints in error messages.

I was wondering if it can be made more general than copying
pre-defined hints from an error message.  A while ago I wanted to be
able to see or even copy the output from the last command, without
re-running it.  Is this at all related?  I guess not...
