I think I saw something similar implemented in Eclipse IDE. For example 
when pressing Shift+Alt+X(combination what requires further input) a 
hint appeared after ~0.5 sec showing possible options:
* Run Ant Build >>Shift+Alt+X Q
* Run Eclipse Application >>Shift+Alt+X E
* Run Equinox Framework >>Shift+Alt+X X
....
">>" means right aligned

Actually the idea is great, especially if there are bunches of shortcuts 
to remember.
