I feel this is a great way of ending up at the same point (fast keyboard interaction) while making the learning curve much less steep (you can use everything perfectly fine without knowing any key commands initially, it is just a bit slower).

While we're at it... Is there any way of building something like this into wmii? For example, I'd like to be able to hold a key combination and have that show me all of the key combinations in the program. This way, all I actually have to remember is that one key command. I use wmii every third day or so currently (doing a lot of development in OS X at the moment, mainly because I'm in love with BBEdit/ TextWrangler), and each time I go back I find myself struggling to remember the key commands. I'll get it eventually, but it might be nice for new users to only have to remember "hold meta-? for help". I'm not advocating menus or toolbars or anything here -- Just a simple way of showing the key commands, perhaps greying out those that are not available for the current situation (such as if no frame is selected or if there is no other column to move to).
