If you use Icicles (with Emacs 22 or later), then you can complete any key
sequence, including Control-<whatever>. Each completion candidate shows you the
rest of the key sequence and the associated command.
Unlike C-h (after, e.g., C-x):
1. It works for all key prefixes (all key sequences) - including menus. C-h does
not work for many prefixes (e.g. C-s).
2. Finishing completion runs the command - it doesn't just show you help.
3. You can filter against both the key sequence and the command, using
substrings and other regexps.
