Like htop's bottom bar that shows some useful key binds for the most relevant actions.

httm could display in this bar, key binds and colour code meanings, for example. Instantánea de el 2022-04-13 a las 19:24:43 hrs .

I understand -- it would be nice to have an exit command other than CTRL + C listed for the user. It would be nice to tell the user that they can select multiple files with SHIFT + TAB. It would be very nice to change execution modes as you are executing.

I've thought about this some and although it would be undeniably useful, I think it would require that I vendor the skim crate and make some pretty extensive changes, outside the current small scope of this project. I'll keep it in mind though, as I've had a few other ideas as to what I might do if I were to ever vendor that crate.

Therefore, for now I'm marking as WONTFIX.
