 **Ctrl-C quits from any mode or popup.**
 
 The bottom bar shows essential actions for the current context. Press `?` in normal mode—including selectors and previews—for the full reference. Scroll help with `j` / `k`, arrows, Ctrl-J / Ctrl-K, or PageDown / PageUp; `?` or Esc closes it without changing the underlying view or dialog. In text fields, `?` remains ordinary input.
+The overview title and action headings are bold; binding values, descriptions, and context labels remain normal weight.
 
 Back and forward navigation restore cached videos, selection, and pagination, including replaced temporary tabs. Removed views are skipped; empty history leaves the current view unchanged. Opening a different view after going back discards the old forward branch. Esc first closes a dialog or leaves insert mode without navigating. Minus and plus remain ordinary text inside input fields.
