TUI has no in-app shortcut/keybinding help screen #2436
Description
Which client?
TUI
The problem
The TUI (Ink+React) has several tab-specific keybindings, but there's no discoverable in-app reference for them -- a new user has to read the README or guess by trial and error, since nothing in the UI hints at a help overlay.
Solution you have in mind (optional)
Add a ?-triggered overlay listing the active keybindings for the current tab/context, dismissible the same way (Esc or ? again).

Before you submit
- I searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.
- This is a request for the Inspector itself, not for the MCP specification or an SDK.
