[TxMt] What does this key do?

Hi Allan,

Sometimes I find myself in the situation where I try a key combination
which doesn't do what I thought but moves the carat leaving me
uncertain what action I have just performed.  I know I can hit undo
but given the non-atomic undo nature it leaves me with doubts about
whether my file is changed.

Would it be possible to add a feature that tells you what function a
key combination will invoke?

What I have in mind would be:

  select "identity key"
  press key combination, e.g. Cmd+Opt+V
  TxMt pops up a dialog identifying the bundle & command this will activate
    Choose "yes"
        Executes command
    Choose "no"
        Does nothing

This would help me, (a) because I could work out what I *did* do, and
(b) because I could help myself learn key combos safely (by either
passing through to the action or not).

Just a thought, not sure how good of a one though ;-)
