Re: Key descriptions in *Help* are too wide

    Kim's suggestion is the best, for after the release: let a "..." button call
    `where-is' to display all the bindings. Richard's suggestion could be added
    to that: indicate how many more are not shown: "<foo>, <bar>,... (3 more)".

    Before the release, it would be sufficient to cut off the list at a
    reasonable number of bindings or max number of columns: either stop when the
    max width is reached or fill the text up to that reasonable number of
    bindings - and then append "...". After the release, the "..." could be made
    into a button that calls `where-is' on the command.

Would someone please implement one of these?
