The split footer advertised both "d close" and "esc list" for the same action, so it claimed two exits where there is one thing to do. esc is the one worth naming: it is the step-out key everywhere else in the app, and it is what the next change to this screen will build on. d still toggles the preview shut — it is the key that opened it, and a toggle that only opens would be its own surprise. It is simply no longer advertised as a separate exit. The label changed with it. "list" was already taken: in the diff-pane footer tab is hinted as "list" and genuinely moves focus to the list pane, so an esc sitting beside it under the same word read as a third way to move focus rather than as the key that dismantles the split. "close preview" says what it does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> ct-stack-id: 65d117c2

The split footer advertised both "d close" and "esc list" for the same

d still toggles the preview shut — it is the key that opened it, and a
toggle that only opens would be its own surprise. It is simply no longer
advertised as a separate exit.
