It is true that some keybindings may not be that intuitive. Plus, a help pop-up window is quite standard in TUIs and should be relatively easy to implement.
@huyz Here is a first draft, straight from my working directory:
Comments, suggestions?
@xavierog looks perfect to me. Didn't know about tab!

Thanks for your feedback. I also intend to revamp the quit dialog:
Before:
After:
Yeah that's better.
I would leave Do not quit
as a a default color, e.g. gray, as it's for a reversal of user intent and should thus be a rare occurrence and shouldn't grab so much attention.
I'll think about it. My initial intent was to use a traffic light pattern to reflect the level of safety inherent to each option:
IMHO, the traffic light pattern further confuses. "Green" means "go"—i.e., go with my original intent. Which isn't what we'd want to convey
That makes sense.
The help dialog and the revamped quit dialog are available as of Moulti v1.13.0, released on 2024-07-21.
FYI, Textual 0.77 introduces a help panel that is slightly different (it appears on the right side, not in the middle) but is also context-aware and exhaustive. I think it is worth switching from the help dialog discussed here to that new help panel.
Would be nice to have a help pop-up window when I hit
?
. The bottom menu doesn't contain keybindings such as ⬅️ and ↩. It took me a while to figure out how to expand/collapse an individual item without the mouse.
