Add tips to status bar

[imsnif]

In a recent release, we added the ability to show more tips in the status bar. Right now, the default tip is the quicknav tip:

Tip: Alt + <n> => open new pane. Alt + <[] or hjkl> => navigate between panes. Alt + <+-> increase/decrease pane size

I'd like to collect suggestions to add more tips and record them (and their implementation) here. Please offer more suggestions by commenting on this issue and I'd be happy to add them:

• Tip: Send mouse clicks directly to your terminal to mark text or click on links by holding SHIFT while clicking with the mouse.
• Tip: When moving focus using Alt + hjkl, if you move focus off the right/left edge of the screen, the next tab will be focused.
• Tip: Having issues with Zellij? Try running zellij setup --check to see if there are any issues.

would be nice to disable the tips "second_line" all together

Agreed, but I feel this is a separate issue. Maybe as a config option?

Not sure if this would count as a tip or a feature request. Perhaps some sort of indicator to show caps lock, scroll lock or num lock is active.

I would like to add to the shift+mouse event tip: shift + middleclick allows pasting from the X primary clipboard.

I also have comments on when/how to display tips:

• gitui has an extra key to toggle between display of all currently available keybindings/tips and those who fit into a single line.
• One could also hide tips the user already uses often, to make room for new, yet unknown tips.

Maybe these tips here in this screenshot should be distinct and not been shown at the same time?

This feels very busy to me personally and might detract from the usefulness.

• The zellij shortcuts like a for attach or ls like list-sessions were quite hard to find for me personally. (They do not even show up in zellij --help) Maybe this would be a great candidate for a tip?
• Also, if the amount of plugins increases in the future, we can feature some builtin / popular plugins and how to activate / use them?
• Same goes for pre-defined layouts, to make users aware that they exist and what they can do with it.
• Mouse support includes scrolling through the Tabs with the scroll wheel as long as the cursor is on the tab bar

Since someone asked in discord what Sync does, and it was new for me as well:
"The sync function of a tab sends the keyboard input to all its panes simultaneously"

[raphCode]

I just discovered that floating panes can be moved with the mouse, this might be worth a tip as well

Since we already have a bunch of tips now, can this be closed?

[imsnif]

Yes, I think we can keep adding them on the fly. I can think of a few new ones with the latest release.
