Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

In Shortcut Guide, if that is active...while you are pressing keys, you intercept...and ask you press key(s), the list filters down to whatever keys are pressed.

### Scenario when this would be used?

You partially remember a keyboard shortcut and want to find it quickly. Or you know shortcut but want to tell someone 'official' name of it.

### Supporting information
