Awesome WM: Idea for contextual help
[EDIT]: I found this, which looks promising.: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Document_keybindings
I'm getting old and can't remember some of the key shortcuts I have defined in my rc.lua.
Would like to add an awesome keybinding, '?', which would show a transparent, floating window containing a table of the shortcut keys I have defined in my rc.lua.
This would require some introspection of the awesome global and client keybindings.
Was thinking I could use dmenu to do this - but that doesn't seem quite right.
Anyone have a good suggestion for how to create a custom window, float it, set its contents?
If anyone else would find this useful I'd be happy to release it as a library.

Re: Awesome WM: Idea for contextual help
Bar and useful blog post about creating custom floating windows. Set rules for in in the rc.lua. If you wanted to, you could have it grep/sed/awk the bindings and submit it if others wanted to use it.
