Help: Fn+h lists the keys of the screen you're on, and no screen names its keys any more (#69)
Fn+h on any screen, text fields included, and ? outside Text Entry, open a panel over the content area: the screen's own keys, then the ones that work everywhere. Every App declares its keys for the state it is in (pages, viewers, dialogs and text fields answer for themselves); the App manager opens the panel and takes every key while it is open. About 30 hint lines are gone, from every App. What stays on a screen is state. The first-start Setup keeps its hints and teaches the key; a device set up before gets one Toast, once. The guide and the FAQ open with it. `key help` over the consoles. 476 host tests (8 new). Checked on the device with key help and screenshots: the Launcher, all nine Apps and several of their states. 8.5 KB of flash and 40 bytes of static RAM.

**`key help` opens the help panel** (<kbd>Fn</kbd>+<kbd>h</kbd> on the device): the keys of the screen that is showing. A screenshot of it is the quickest way to learn what a screen accepts, and it is how every screen's list was checked. Any key but the arrows closes it.

## Look before you press

|

**Take a screenshot before any key that deletes, renames or installs.** A blind sequence of `key` commands goes wrong the moment the screen is not where you think it is, and the screen is often not where you think it is: a Toast, a dialog that has not closed, a different App. A sequence that was meant to open a note once renamed real data instead.
