Hotkey Panel Concept

Hey guys so I have a friend of mine who has started to learn Blender and has been getting stuck with hotkeys. Watching his frustration firsthand got me thinking about where that information should actually live.

I know that the status bar exists, and there are tons of online docs out there, but I believe there is an opportunity to learn through blender. So I started exploring a hotkey panel that changes based on your current mode. Object Mode shows you one set, Edit Mode shows you another. The idea is to pair context-awareness with progressive disclosure so the cheat sheet changes with you rather than overwhelming you all at once.

The idea is still a work in progress, but I would love to get it in front of people. What would make a contextual hotkey cheat sheet useful to you. Mock-Up.png Cheatsheet-Mockup.png
