Add suggested completions for key chords

With more complex key chords, it would be incredibly helpful to have “suggested” completions, based on the first element of the chord. For example, consider the following complicated workflow:

1. You type CMD + K
2. Visual Studio Code waits for the next key of the chord (but doesn’t tell you what valid options could be typed)
3. User forgets or doesn’t know the shortcut he wants, so he hits ESCAPE
4. User hits F1 to search for the desired command and keyboard shortcut
5. User hits ESCAPE
6. User executes keyboard shortcut

Instead, what should happen is that VS Code should show the users all of the key chords (or perhaps most commonly used commands by that specific user, based on telemetry data), that could possibly be pressed.

This would have the following benefits:

• Significantly improve the user experience
• Ease the learning of new keyboard shortcuts
• Tailor the Visual Studio Code environment to each user (optional)

Just to expand on this; I think that it’s important to have this feature if you want to build up a set of mnemonic chords for shortcuts, similar to how Spacemacs is set up. This, plus the addition of 3-step chords (#6966), would make VSCode really flexible for the users that want to make sure their setup is exactly the way they want it.

http://spacemacs.org/ has this too and I love it. It makes discovering and learning key bindings easy.
