Hm... the display is already pretty busy...

Yes, the ":" seems superfluous, but we'd have to come up with something
else for outline to work off of then. Uhm...

I was wondering whether we should just ditch the whole 16/32 thing and
compute the widths (per section), but not totally slavishly.
That is, compute the max width, but if there's one ridiculously wide key
entry (like "<remap> <switch-to-buffer-other-frame>"), then don't take
that into account (for the rest of the entries). I think that would
give us more readable lists in general, but some experimentation is
needed.

Which text do you mean?
