Before you start programming: I was not being serious;
In the long term, I think you should add a mandatory 'Hint' parameter to the
shortcut key registration routine, and it should throw an error when the hint
is empty; thus forcing people to minimally document their functions.
This should enable you to create a nice reference chart on the fly, and generate
e.g. a fpDoc table from this chart.
