List of current keyboard shortcuts?
Is there a way to view/list all the current keyboard shortcuts?
Some of the current ones, are not-obvious IMO, and as such the application is hard to use without grabbing the mouse.
Could be added as an automatically generated help message in the future and may be useful particularly for blind people for discoverability, so I'm definitely in favor of this atm.
I didn't even think about using edit with mouse before the unintuitive "Open file..." dialog stopped me. Tab key does not focus to file browser, why?
I would suggest adding: MS-DOS Editor 2.0.026 - Opening file, at bottom: "F1=Help Enter=Execute Esc=Cancel Tab=Next Field"
Very useful for SSH users also!

Due to a bug. This is fixed in the main branch.
MS-DOS Editor 2.0.026 - Opening file, at bottom: "F1=Help Enter=Execute Esc=Cancel Tab=Next Field"
I'm confused why people continue citing that editor as a source for inspiration. Do you still use it today? That said, we can consider adding "F1=Help" at the bottom right.
Windows have got none command line editor for example ssh console connections long time. This new project is super interesting! I refer to old good time software to get understood what I mean, not to offend you. Many of us think kindly, this is a new upgraded version of old edit regardless of code base. And new to Linux side for decades in easy to use editors, let's beat ancient nano!
I have made an attempt at this in PR #563
+1 for list of KB shortcuts.
F3 for "find next" works, but I couldn't find the key for "find prev".
I tried shift/alt/ctrl-F3, as well as few other function keys, and none seemed to work.
The "Edit" menu only shows ctrl-F for find, and not even F3 for find next (but it does work), and so far I don't know whether a key for "find prev" even exist.
Prefrably an exhaustive list of supported key/combos should be in some inline help item, and if not, then in some README or other docs file.
Thanks.
