Right, but I'm saying that the following documenation is equally as good/bad:

  <Shift-B2-Motion>  vertical motion -- change xyplane

  Space          `builtin-raise-window` raise gnuplot console window
  a              `builtin-autoscale` (set autoscale keepfix; replot)
  b              `builtin-toggle-border`
  e              `builtin-replot`
  g              `builtin-toggle-grid`
  h              `builtin-help`
  l              `builtin-toggle-log` y logscale for plots, z and cb logscale 
for splots
  L              `builtin-nearest-log` toggle logscale of axis nearest cursor
  m              `builtin-toggle-mouse`
  r              `builtin-toggle-ruler`
  1              `builtin-decrement-mousemode`
  2              `builtin-increment-mousemode`
  3              `builtin-decrement-clipboardmode`
  4              `builtin-increment-clipboardmode`
  5              `builtin-toggle-polardistance`
  6              `builtin-toggle-verbose`
  7              `builtin-toggle-ratio`
  n              `builtin-zoom-next` go to next zoom in the zoom stack
  p              `builtin-zoom-previous` go to previous zoom in the zoom stack
  q            	`builtin-close-window` close this plot window
  u              `builtin-unzoom`
  Right          `builtin-rotate-right` only for splots; <shift> increases amount
  Up             `builtin-rotate-up` only for splots; <shift> increases amount
  Left           `builtin-rotate-left` only for splots; <shift> increases amount
  Down           `builtin-rotate-down` only for splots; <shift> increases amount
  Escape         `builtin-cancel-zoom` cancel zoom region

*IF* we say that

is a bug.  And then fix it sooner than later. :-)  Besides, that's another thing 
we could easily change.  'q' and ' ' have nothing to do with redrawing, so there 
is no need to disable those.
