How do I find what a hotkey is bound to?

I sometimes get overloaded with hotkeys for various apps. A common problem I have is discovering why a particular key combo works or collides. Is there an easy way to lookup which heyboard shortcuts are bound to which IDE actions? Currently I drill into the keymapping preferences and attempt to assign a mapping to an arbitrary action just so I can see if there is a conflict. I'd like the "Enter Keyboard Shortcut" dialog to be more of a general purpose tool for finding conflicts before hand. For instance, this morning I attempted to assign a "Maximize Window" shortcut in my OS X preferences using "Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+M" as the shortcut. It worked in all windows except for IntelliJ. I had to drill into the keymap preferences, and find an arbitrary action to assign a shortcut to just to discover if there were any conflicts. (I still don't understand why it fails in IntelliJ since there were no reported conflicts.) I would like to have access to the keyboard lookup dialog in a more general purpose fashion. Is there such a plugin or feature available? What do others think?
