In the middle of any key sequence, or even before hitting any prefix key.
Help on all/any of the keys that can be used in the current context.
Get a list of all possible completions for a key. Get full help on any of them
(command description, in *Help*). End by completing a key if you want to use
it, or `C-g' if you were just after the info.
