The only extra info on the screenshot are the "View in manual" button 
(which I would imagine you find appealing, given that it will lead more 
users to read the manual) and the "References" section, which is not 
essential, IMHO. The rest are mostly presentation.

Though the "key bindings" section is interesting in that is also shows 
the keymap where each bindings resides. This would have saved me some 
extra debugging efforts in the past.
