I've been re-organizing my keybindings so I can try and remember them more easily. In the process, I wrote some macros that let me see the key bindings in groups e.g. all key bindings involving the same function key are grouped together.
The macro xkey_bindings_show generates a file group-keydefs.e in your config-folder/keybindings folder - just like the list-keydefs command generates keydefs.e. Unlike keydefs.e, the group-keydefs.e file is not intended to be loaded.
The macro xkey_binding_trainer prompts for a key, then displays a menu of the "key group" and associated commands. e.g. press F1 and you get a menu of F1, S-F1, C-F1 etc. You can execute a command from the menu as well as use it to jog your memory.
It does not handle "composite" key sequences.
e.g. this is what I currently have for the enter key
'ENTER'= split_insert_line;
'S-ENTER'= keyin_enter;
'C-ENTER'= nosplit_insert_line;
'A-ENTER'= what_is;
'C-S-ENTER'= nosplit_insert_line_above;
'A-S-ENTER'= where_is;
'C-A-ENTER'= xkey_binding_trainer;
'C-A-S-ENTER'= xkey_bindings_show;
The macro works for me but there's no guarantee it will work for you so if you have a problem, post it back here and maybe someone can fix it!
