MasterKey is a free Chrome extension. It counts what you keep doing with the mouse in Google Sheets and sticks the top six to the corner of your sheet — each one peels off once you've used it enough. Nothing pops up while you work.

MasterKey in action: six sticky notes in the corner of a Google Sheet, each showing an action and its keyboard shortcut
