While I agree in principle (discoverability is important) the sheer amount of key board hotkeys in a complex program like blender makes it impossible to list every combination in a drop down menu or similar. I only use blenders most simple tools, but to be honest I like the amount of information displayed to me. E.g. if I press z I get a wheel selection to switch between wireframe and other view modes. I can use the mouse to select, or the hotkey that is shown next to the options.
I find vscode's system much better than blender's.
In vscode you just press F1 and type whatever you want to do.
I rarely use blender, therefore every time I want to use it I have to relearn every hotkey.
On vscode you just explain what you want to do, and chances are high that you'll find the command. You can also easily bind hotkeys to commands.
