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.
