Just a dream...

This is not a dream, but a reality quite easily done in System RPL. For example, System RPL already has entry points that allow your key assignments to do one thing when you're editing a program and something else when you're not editing a program. An assignment which is sensitive to which menu you're in would also be easy. A 50g library which almost automates the creation of such assignments (but knowledge of System RPL helps a lot!) is Keyman+ (listed as "Recommended: Get it!" by HPCALC.ORG), available here: https://www.hpcalc.org/details/3392
