Possible enhancement:
If bug #38796 gets taken care of then users could have very long
`view-lossage' logs (if they choose).
Especially in such a context, it could be useful to provide a timestamp
with each event. This could be via a `help-echo' property, for example.
Or it could be made available as a separate column, or in some other
way.
I know it doesn't make a lot of sense with the current state of the
output, but with much longer logs it could be helpful.
A `help-echo' property provides a tooltip, but it won't help with
searching. A UI that lets you search, or filter (e.g. `occur') on not
only the event/key/command name but also the time/date, could be useful.
Just a thought. `view-lossage' is essentially a log. It could be made
more useful than it is now, I expect.
