Yes, I saw it in the end. If you do a M-x before, it gets removed, tho.

It's actually worse than that: the binding for "Enter" is
exit-minibuffer which is wrong for completions that "require-match"
(such as M-x) which should instead use minibuffer-complete-and-exit
(which is why the binding is not shown when you do M-x: in that case
exit-minibuffer is not bound to any key).
In any case I've changed the Quit to use the same binding as C-g (so
C-g is shown in the shortcuts) and tweaked the "Enter" entry so it shows
RET (or thing) rather than C-j (or nothing).
