I think dme's patch is only user unfriendly if there are no saved
searches configured: if there are some then ? shows them. The problem is
that ? does nothing if there aren't any.

I don't know whether always showing the bindings (like notmuch-go) or
only showing them after ? is pressed (like this series) is better.

Best wishes
