lazygit is excellent imo. every ui with keyboard shortcuts needs an action menu showing the keyboard shortcuts. You can execute commands from this menu, but it teaches you the keyboard shortcuts over time too. especially important for a tui, where it’s mostly/completely keyboard controls.

This one is more a layer 8 issue perhaps, but ideally there is some sort of guard rail that makes it so that if I accidentally start typing a message I think is going into slack, but I still have the tui focused, doesn’t execute a ton of very hard to reverse actions. Perhaps a good undo/redo stack is enough here, but some sort of vim like modality could work even better. It doesn’t happen often, but if it’s something like k9s the blast radius is… pretty big!
