Description David Screen CLA 2004-03-23 09:22:54 EST 
Feature request:

I frequently remap certain commands to keys that i want them to be. The problem
is that the keys that I steal (e.g. F2 I want as rename) leave other functions
(Show tooltip here) without key shortcuts. I will say something like "F2 (was:
Show Tooltip Description".

What I would like is a context menu (on the tables) or button which will
navigate me to the command now lacking a shortcut key e.g. same as selecting
"Edit" then "Show Tooltip Desc" for 2 reasons:

a) There's no obvious way of actually finding "Show Tooltip description", I've
got no idea whether its in Edit, Source, Navigate. This is even worse with the
new style of keys page since 2.1. This is very frustrating especially since I'm
used to the context menus which give no idea where to find the actual item.

a) its very common to make a chain of alterations and some help would be nice
wherever i see "was: " after performing a mapping.

Thanks!
