Jack, I have been reading the Clippy comments, too, and I like your idea of an F1 key for KM. Since you are in Chicago, you might want to visit Accenture and see if they will demo for you their KM tool that was presented at KM World in 2004. It's awesome, and exactly what you (and I and probably all KM practitioners are dreaming about!). I can probably dig up the presenter's name (he's no longer at Accenture) and maybe the name of the tool. Just send me a note. It had a main screen, divided into 9 or 12 sections, and when you entered your topic you are working on, it generated visible links (lines) into related topics in each of the boxed sections, helping you to see relationships that didn't exist previously and find people who were working on similar topics, in addition to pulling up the expected research sources...papers, patents, articles, news, etc. I believe it was created for a pharmaceutical company for their research scientists. You have to see it to believe it, and knowing that it exists is enough to re-energize anyone in the KM field! Gives us a target to aim for...in terms of technology at least. :)
