Right, oops. Also, now that I take a quick look at the code, I see you
probably want to start in drscheme/private/frame.ss's method
show-keybindings.

control-x control-g <char> should also work.

Right.
Overall, I'm sorry to say that I don't have serious time to dedicate
to this now or in the near future, but I'll try to answer any
questions you have if you have the energy to seriously look into it.
