Sure, my point was just about the fact that we don't document it anywhere, hence once it's loaded (which users might be more tempted to do unknowingly if it has the same visibility as the rest) the manual isn't so helpful anymore. So like I said, it's more of a policy thing.

Yep, I tend to agree with that, and sometimes I wish there was no annoying popup coming in the way (especially when it breaks my layout). But on the other hand, I find the magit-simple-keys.el approach a bit too radical :) While I do simple things most of the time (and would enjoy short bindings then), it's good to be able to do complex stuff from magit as well, from time to time. I think there could be 2 modes: simple and complex (and in complex mode, we could probably even make the popup optional). And one could probably toggle the mode, maybe with a C-- prefix, or something like this. It's not very clear in my head yet, but I'm quite sure we can improve the current situation to satisfy everybody :) Yann. -- The individual is the key, the final effective unit of all biological processes. -- PARDOT KYNES
