Additionally: we have enough room to include such instructions in the
buffer itself.  There are many keybindings for aborting in use (also in
third party packages) like C-c ESC, C-c C-k, C-c C-a.  And when you need
to know which one it was the message is long gone.  We could use the
header-line, or the mode-line, or the buffer header used when using the
:help-text key.
