I am close to publishing a package called user-keys.  The goal was to
assist in diagnosing and planning out bindings schemes.  So far it has
three main functions:

   - Show all shadows for a sequence
   - Show all sequences from a preferred list of sets
   - Show all sequences matching predicates

One possible next goal is to show emulation map updates and listing active
maps with symbols rather than raw keymap data structures.

I am planning to extend the predicate matching to work on mass-unbinding.
Right now it's useful for diagnosing all "stupid" bindings, which I
preconfigured to predicates such as, "modified shift keys" or "multiple
modifiers".

Part of the goal was to develop a transient interface to articulate these
views of the keymaps.  I'm not sure how that's progressing since there's
not quite enough functionality to leverage state and input re-use that
characterizes a good context specific interface.

I felt like it's a good time to show what's built and see if anyone has
ideas based on experience about difficulty getting a good high-level view
of active maps and what information they miss as a developer or user.

I attached screenshots to this issue since I haven't made a video demo yet:
