Description

I've added a new list of CSE's in my options for use in the Vomnibar, but until I have the muscle memory, I seem to be going back to the options page to remind myself of what shortcut I'd assigned for it.

It would be nice if there was a way to get a quick list of which CSE's are configured, and what their shortcuts are, to remind ourselves of what CSE's are configured, and what shortcut was assigned.

This could either be within the Vomnibar itself( ?-<tab> or similar ), or perhaps during the context of vomnibar activation, the on-page help menu ( ? ) could list them out, along with its other shortcut reminders

Just a feature I'd find useful, not sure if the broader user base would

Research direction

Start by tracing Vomnibar activation and the on-page help menu opened with ?; the issue also suggests a ?-<tab> route. Compare the configured custom search engines and their assigned shortcuts, then define one consistent display location and verify that the list is available as a quick reminder without returning to the options page.
