Hi, Could you off-hand point me at api for counting in an ongoing manner the actions performed by the user, so that a plugin may suggest assigning keyboard shortcuts or other ways to invoke a small subset of those actions, or be able to then apply similar advisory behavior which bases off awareness…

This is not an official answer, nor an endorsement of a 3rd party plugin. However, the Key Promoter X detects all actions and shows a popup suggesting a shortcut on an arbitrary action. Please take a look at the plugin descriptor and the corresponding listeners.

@robert.novotny thanks for pointing me at such a great reference for further digging the relevant api!
