Ok, that's what I eventually guessed. So, the idea is to check whether a function is interactive and try to guess whether it is limited to a given mode (most probably the mode it is defined in), and if yes tag it ?

 I'll give that a try for a few modes I use. Thank you for this feature! After helpful, which-keys, it really is a nice addition. I'm always looking for such modes/features that help with the discovery process.
