Comment (by atagar):

 Arm definitely has a feature discover-ability problem. At the UW dev
 meeting three years back Jake asked how to do something with arm and I
 said "Oh, it's in the menu. Just press 'm'." His reply was "Wow! Hey
 Roger, have you seen this arm menu? It's awesome!". I realized then that I
 was sinking months of effort into features nobody knew about.

 I'm not sure how to address this. On one hand the features aren't easily
 discoverable but on the other one of the main appeals of arm is that it
 makes very, very good use of space. Once the user knows about a feature
 any message I give them in the future is just a waste.

 Thus far I've compromised by advertising a help dialog (pressing 'h') and
 menu (the 'm' key) and listing all features in both. However, it's obvious
 that's not solving the problem. :)
