Feature request -- Enhancing learning of keyboard shortcuts

Right now, keyboard shortcuts for Zoho editing dialogs seem to be listed only in the FAQ. That's a poor location for learning to use them. I would like to see them listed as text in each application, perhaps as an optional view in the right or left sidebars (first choice) or in a menu. If you could pop them up in the right sidebar, then you could have them visible while learning to use them. And if there were a shortcut for toggling between the popped up shortcut display and the last cursor position in the application dialog, with automatic closure of the shortcut display on the return to the application dialog, a single shortcut could be used in all Zoho apps to access the keyboard shortcuts.

This would also enhance accessibility for those with visual handicaps. I have only fairly mild eyesight difficulties and the present icon size is a real barrier for me to distinguish their difference. I can only imagine how challenging Zoho must be for those who are totally blind.

I'm among many people who are icon-challenged to begin with and hate having to remove a hand from the keyboard to operate the mouse to select a user action. Moreover, as you add features to Zoho editing interfaces, the number of icons required to be learned will become progressively more and more challenging.

Others might prefer a text-menu system for selecting actions that also identifies the shortcut for each action. See e.g., the menu selections in Firefox. However, I much prefer a system that forces the user to execute the keystroke commands as a learning device, as is the behavior in WordStar 3.x, where the menu system only identifies keystroke commands but does not allow their selection. It's simply too easy to select menu options without executing the identified keystroke command.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but as someone who aims at ultra-high productivity when writing, I hope that you might aid keystroke command fans as well as those who love their mouses.

I am truly impressed by what you have done with Zoho, and offer this in the spirit of contributing to improvement of an already outstanding line of applications.
