It would also be useful for helping users work out what *is* possible in a certain screen, rather then having to consult keys.txt or reading the docs thoroughly.

Well this thread was made because of the patch I sent in that gives the 
Watch en Delete Recordings a popup menu that contains all the available 
functionality for those pages.

So I'll ask what I asked in that thread: are there any other parts of 
Myth(TV) that you think need this kind of dialog? If so, let me know and 
I'll see if I have time to make similar popups for those parts as well.
