Add key binding for unbound commands is difficult

[haacked]

Today I wanted to add a key binding for the "Toggle Soft Wrap" command. It was unclear to me how I'd do that.

I went to Settings > Keybindings but it only shows bindings for commands that are already bound.
I tried CTRL+. (CMD+, on Mac) which shows bindings for shortcuts invoked. I hoped maybe it'd show me the potential binding if I invoked the Toggle Soft Wrap menu. No luck.

So of course, I go to Google and @maxbrunsfeld answered the question here.

'atom-text-editor':
  'f10': 'editor:toggle-soft-wrap'

That's great, but I can't rely on Max having answered that question for every binding I may want to set.

Would be nice to have Keybindings show unbound commands too (perhaps in a separate tab or at the end of the list). Or have it allow you to search. Or perhaps have a way to invoke a tooltip on menu items that show you the name of the item for key binding. Many ways to address the problem.

Looks like we have an existing similar request here:

atom/settings-view#165

I'll go ahead and close as a dupe but let me know if I mis-understood anything @haacked 🙇
