Contextual shortcut helper

Build a tool that displays all available keyboard shortcuts for the current app or website. Eliminates friction when learning new software.

Why now

As software becomes more complex, users waste time searching for buried shortcut menus.

Who for
Power users, software trainers
Business model
Premium features + enterprise licenses
Effort
A few weeks

People constantly switch between applications but struggle to remember each program's unique shortcuts.

Develop a lightweight overlay that detects the active application and displays its complete shortcut list, filterable by category.

Sell to power users through productivity bundles or offer enterprise licensing to companies training new employees.

The MVP could simply scrape and display existing shortcut documentation from popular apps.

Challenge is maintaining compatibility across constantly updating software.
