I have the following use for the C-h bindings from the minibuffer:
C-h b to describe the bindings
I think that binding should be still accessible.
I think of two possibilities to get the command help explained by me:
f1 ... preferred by me - easy accessible (f1 bindings are
still on the C-h map available)
f1 <return> ... One key more to type, F1 map is untouched
