Yes, we have sort of made “convert to different format”, “pretty  
print”, and “tidy” be the same thing (by using ⌃⇧H).

The line is also a little thin, e.g. Markdown → HTML (Convert to  
HTML) versus broken HTML without paragraph tags → Valid HTML (Tidy)  
and XML Property List → Old-style ASCII (Convert) versus a pretty  
print…

Hmm… the case for secondary help is rare, no?

I frequently use ⌃⇧H in several modes (binary plist, XML plist,  
Markdown, rarely in HTML), I don’t think I ever use it in a context  
where it means help.

Yeah, ⌃Q is nice when it refers to just the current small context,  
like an Objective-C method, a paragraph in Mail or similar, but really  
bad for the full scope.
