i guess i was merely saying: instead of h, which a new user might not try, something that works for everything in emacs might be a possibility. but c-h m and c-h b could perhaps be improved a bit and include mode-specific text [details left to reader as exercise]. On 2/5/21, Marco Wahl wrote:

Hi all! What do you think about binding key h to function describe-mode in Org agenda? Basically pressing key h would open a window showing the key bindings in the agenda. There would also be additional information. The implementation could be just the line (org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map
