Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

It's hard to know what you can do or how to do it. Having a menu bar that shows you some common commands and how to get to the help screen.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

[ ] Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

I would copy the way gitui does it. showing a menu at the bottom of the screen.

sxyazi commented 1 month ago

Sorry, I don't want to implement it as a built-in feature because it conflicts with Yazi's status bar. Ideally, we should only include one bar at the bottom to maximize space efficiency.

However, I'd love to see someone implement it as a plugin for those who really want a menu bar instead of a status bar - Yazi's plugin system already provides a rich layout API, with the capability to completely rewrite or extend it. A great example is https://github.com/imsi32/yatline.yazi, which significantly expands both the default header and footer.

Closing as not in the plan.
