However, I think screencasts should be as simple as possible. There is some famous research (by recently deceased Clifford Nass, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Nass) that shows that we humans are far less adept at multi-tasking than we think. I really don't want to distract attention from the main message. A future screencast will be about getting help. This will include the print-bindings, print-commands and print-settings commands, as well as the help commands. In particular, the print-bindings command gives you all the binding/command associations, sorted by binding.
