Why not use a simple menu?  It seems to be the standard way to show a
list of commands with their available bindings.  If it doesn't fit the
bill, maybe it can be improved.

Do you mean a graphical menu from the menu bar or the menu shown by mouse clicks. If so, I am using none of those.

Also I should have made a better problem statement: "Need to have a pretty interface that is *configurable* and shows the key bindings for that action.

For instance, I have a hydra to insert different Org blocks in org-mode, and looks like this:

The idea is to press a binding, and then a contextual menu pops up with a list of next valid key that can be pressed (and this does not necessarily list *all* the bound keys.. that's one place where it's different from another package: which-key).

I wrote a reply with bit more information about hydra earlier today in this thread[1].
