[Feature] Have `Alt+F: bindings` on the top right of the screen (when it fits)
I suggested people make edit replace nano as the default, and a complaint I got was that it it was too difficult to figure out how to view the bindings. I think this would solve that.
I'm hoping to add a command palette in the future which could contain an item to view the bindings, just like what VS Code offers today.
@lhecker As long as the key binding to open the command palette is visible at all times, then this would probably be as discoverable as Nano's.
@eamonburns such a cue would be really helpful at the first interaction, but then it will become really annoying to see it every time you open Edit to use it.
Actually it's not that hard to figure out that Alt+F triggers the File Button, considering that VS Code also behaves the same way as per my knowledge.
Ok, I'm just thinking of ways to actually make it as discoverable as nano. It may be sufficient to have the standard <F1> keybind to open a help menu.
Oh, looks like that was already suggested: https://github.com/microsoft/edit/issues/158#issuecomment-2912402978
