A list view in general isn't so bad. It just needs to be bigger. Navigating a
popup menu with that many entries is certainly less fun. Also the listview
should support jumping to keymaps by an "incremental typing the name" feature.
I don't know what the purpose of the second listview is. Wouldn't it be much
better to have a single list view that also lists user saved custom keymaps at
the end of the list, behind a separator line perhaps? Then the list view would
be more than twice the height.
Best regards,
