That would appreciated by new users as they would have a convenient
and intuitive way to know the key binding.  This without having
to use keybinding ("C-h b", "C-h k", "C-h f") to find out about frequently
used keybindings.  Immediately getting to use  ("C-h b", "C-h k", "C-h f")
can be overwhelming to new users, particularly for school aged kids (aged 7-14).
