Bug

Ctrl+H (help overlay) does not work consistently in all areas/apps. Works in some, dead in others.

Expected

Every residual TUI app should respond to Ctrl+H with its help overlay.

Found

2026-10-19, testing via wsl.exe.

Update 2026-10-19 (limoni deep-dive)

Limoni's Keybinding struct already has Label/Category fields designed to feed a help overlay — but no HelpOverlay widget exists. Options: (a) suggest it to thebanri as upstream feedback — HelpOverlay(AllBindings()) would standardize Ctrl+H across every Limoni app; (b) build it in residual's shared UI lib. Either way, the binding metadata is already there waiting.
