Thanks; I think this looks useful, and easy to extend if we want to.

I don't think that would be as useful.  You need this when you don't
really know what Emacs offers -- and Emacs has oddball terminology here,
so just showing the entire cheat sheet is best.

That is, if you know that you want to change the "window size" (what
other editors would call "a pane" or "the file", perhaps), you don't
need the cheat sheet that much.
