Much of the point in this was to discuss how to make the UI, and the
very capable features we have, more discoverable to new uses. Most
people won't start by reading the documentation (which we don't even
really have for notmuch-emacs). Keeping the UI uncluttered and clean at
the same time is hard.

Perhaps promoting the '?' key in my other patch is enough. Perhaps an
alternative would be to highlight the 'j' key in "Saved searches:
[edit]" somehow.
