Any comments? I like the idea of displaying the available choices, but I'm not sure "0.5s delay" is a good enough trigger: it's probably a fine choice for some users, but usually Emacs doesn't like to use such time-dependent behavior too much. Could we offer, additionally to the delay, a different trigger (e.g. help-char and help-event-list)? Stefan PS: How does it compare to register-list? Could they be consolidated?
