I find the mode help far too busy.  The minor modes coming first are a
distraction. The ^L look messy and dont visually separate the different
sections well enough.  Having an index of buttons sounds good. 

Has it been suggested that the button action could show/hide inline the
description of its corresponding mode rather than displaying it in
another buffer?  Thats what mh-e does for mime parts (gnus too?), and I
find it quite usable.
