Thank you, Ihor, for your input.  You are right on these points.

  1. The narrow/widen labels can be confused with buffer narrowing, so I
     changed them to "decrease width" / "increase width".

  2. "quick help" and "quit" were too vague in this context.  I changed
     them to "toggle help" and "quit column view", respectively.

  3. I also changed the `org-columns-redo' label from "redo" to
     "refresh", matching the menu wording and the `g' binding shown by
     quick-help.

I also added a guard for older supported Emacs versions.  Org currently
declares support for Emacs 28.2 and newer, while `help-quick' was added
in Emacs 29.  On Emacs 28, the command now reports a clear user error
instead of failing with `void-function'.

The final quick-help popup now looks like this:

  Value                      Column                         Move row/column     
     View                Misc.
  e         edit             M-S-<right> add                M-<up>    row up    
     c       contents    g  refresh
  a         allowed          M-S-<left>  delete             M-<down>  row down  
     o       overview    ?  toggle help
  S-<right> next             <           decrease width     M-<left>  column 
left    v       show value  q  quit column view
  S-<left>  previous         >           increase width     M-<right> column 
right   C-c C-o open link
  C-c C-c   toggle checkbox  s           attributes
  C-c C-t   TODO

I merged the change to main and added an entry to ORG-NEWS.

Best,
