Maybe it's possible to show all them by using 'read-char-choice' when only
the initial letters are displayed in the prompt like "(f, g, d, v, s, ?): "
or using 'read-answer' or 'read-multiple-choice', e.g.:

(read-multiple-choice "Select project"
                      '((?f "Find file")
                        (?g "Find regexp")
                        (?d "dired")
                        (?v "vc-dir")
                        (?s "shell")))

Indeed, it's hard to find a key prefix analogous to 'C-x 4 1'.
Maybe 'C-x 4 1 p'?
