oh... hmpf.

How about:

        \? for psql help, \h for SQL help
        \g or ';' to execute a query
        \q to quit


This would be more in line with our current process sure. However something a little more radical might be cool :)

help
 returns:
   \g to execute query
   help psql for psql help
   help sql for sql help

Of course we would keep the pre-existing key sequences for those of us that have done this for the last decade :)
