keb 1c8d69d957 feat: the right pane describes what's selected in the pane you're in (#9) 
The right pane kept showing the selected secret when you moved to Vaults or Sources. Now it follows focus:

| focus | right pane |
|---|---|
| Sources | the account (group row), or the subscription / workspace / repo: name, note, ID / profile / path, host or remote, account, web page, vault count |
| Vaults | the vault / scope / file: name, note, URI / backend / format, source, web page, counts of loaded secrets, keys, certificates |
| Secrets | the secret, as before |
| the right pane itself | what it described when you went in; `shift+tab` goes back there |

All but the secret use the `Fields` pane (#7), so `j`/`k`, `/` and `y` work on them; `Detail` loses the error message it got in #4, which is now a red "problem" row in `Fields`. A value revealed from a left pane stays in view until hidden, so `space` from any pane still shows it. `tab` from a subscription goes to Vaults as before; only an account row skips to its details.

This also changes the startup view: focus starts in Sources, so the right pane describes the first subscription instead of the first secret (golden output updated). Tests that read the secret pane focus Secrets first; a new test walks secret → vault → subscription → into the pane → back, and reveals from Sources.

# Keys
`?` lists every key with what it does, the focused pane's first; type to
filter, `enter` runs one. The help bar at the bottom shows the most useful
keys for where you are. Every key can be [rebound](#rebinding-keys).
The rule: a letter in the lists, ctrl+ that letter where you type a filter
(`f` stars, `ctrl+f` stars while filtering).
## Moving around
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| `j`/`k`, `↑`/`↓` | move |
| `g`/`G` | top / bottom |
| `tab`/`l`, `shift+tab`/`h` | next / previous pane |
| `1`–`4` | jump to pane |
| `enter` / `esc`, `⌫` | drill in / back (also clears a filter or leaves the versions view) |
| `[` / `]` | previous / next tab of the focused pane: Sources and Favourites in Sources; Secrets, Keys, Certs in Secrets |
| `/` | filter the focused list by name or note ([how it matches](#searching)); `enter` keeps it, `esc` clears it. While typing: `ctrl+j`/`ctrl+k` move, `ctrl+y` copies, `ctrl+r` reveals, `ctrl+f` stars |
| `` ` `` | switch the Sources pane between grouped by provider and a flat list; `enter`/`space` on a provider folds it |
| `r` | refresh the focused pane |
| `q`, `ctrl+c` | quit |
## Searching
`/` in a pane, Go to, `?` and other popups with a text field all search
the same way, with [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)'s scoring (the
same as snacks.nvim's picker): letters at the start of a word or in one
run count far more than letters scattered through a name, matches in an
item's own name more than in its path or note, and equally good matches
put the shorter name first.
| Query | Finds |
|---|---|
| `dbpw` | fuzzy: `db-password` |
| `pass prod` | both terms, in any order |
| `smtp \| key` | either |
| `'prod` | exactly `prod`, not fuzzy |
| `^kv-` / `-dev$` | names starting / ending with it |
| `!test` | without `test` |
Lowercase ignores case; typing an uppercase letter makes that term
match case exactly.
## Secrets
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| `space` | reveal / hide the selected value (public material for keys and certificates) |
| `y` | copy the value without revealing it; cleared from the clipboard after 30s. On an Azure account's row: its object ID; in its pane, the selected field or group |
| `Y` | copy the reference (`@Microsoft.KeyVault(...)`, key/certificate URL, `{{secrets/scope/key}}`) |
| `v` | versions of the selected item (Azure); `space`/`y`/`Y` then act on that version; `esc`, `⌫` or `v` to go back |
| `o` | open the selected item in the browser (over SSH: copy the link) |
| `e` | open the selected SOPS or `.env` file, or a secret's file at its line ([how](repos.md#opening-files)) |
| `s` / `S` | copy a [link](links.md) to the selected item / share menu |
| `ctrl+o` | open a link or reference (or just paste one) |
| `x` | [custom commands](custom-commands.md) |
| `L` | sign in again (shown when a login has expired) |
| `U` | a newer lazysecrets: its changelog, and update in place (restart to use it); or look for one |
A revealed value hides again after `revealTimeout` (60s) and when the
terminal loses focus (`hideOnBlur`); see [config](config.md).
## Stars and notes
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| `f` | star the selected source, vault or secret: it gets a ★ and sorts first in its list |
| `n` | write a short note on it, shown dimmed on its row and in the detail pane |
A star belongs to the account you starred the item under; a note shows
under every account. Both are kept in the [state file](config.md#state).
## Go to
`ctrl+s` opens Go to on its Search tab, `F` on Favourites (everything you
starred) and `R` on Recent (what you used last). `enter` goes to the
selected item.
Search has the scope on the left (All; all of Azure, Databricks or repos;
or one source; with `○ ◐ ●` for how much of it is loaded) and what's in
it on the right. All repos searches every repo without asking Azure or
Databricks for anything. It opens on the
source you're in. Typing a search loads what it covers: everything on
All, else the source picked; results appear as lists arrive. That's once
each time Go to opens, and only what isn't loaded yet; `ctrl+a` loads
again, lists that failed included.
Like a pane, Go to is either browsing or typing a filter:
| Browsing | Typing | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `j`/`k` | `ctrl+j`/`ctrl+k` | move |
| `h`/`l`, `tab` | `ctrl+h`/`ctrl+l`, `tab` | scope list / results |
| `[` / `]` | | previous / next tab |
| `f` | `ctrl+f` | star |
| `r` | `ctrl+r` | load the selected item, or the scope when nothing is selected |
| `a` | `ctrl+a` | load everything in the scope (again) |
| `/` | `esc` | start typing / clear it and go back to browsing |
| `esc`, `q` | | close |
Favourites and Recent come from the state file, so they work before
anything loads.
## Layout
The pane on the right describes what's selected in the pane you're in: the
account or subscription in Sources, the vault in Vaults, the secret in
Secrets. Going into it (`4`, or `tab` from an account's row) keeps it on
that; there `j`/`k`, `/` and `y` work on its rows, and `shift+tab` goes
back. A value you reveal stays in view whichever pane you're in, until
it's hidden.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| `ctrl+←`/`ctrl+→` or `<`/`>` | move the divider between the left panes and the detail pane |
| `ctrl+↓`/`ctrl+↑` or `}`/`{` | make the focused left pane taller / shorter |
| `+` / `_` | zoom the focused pane: normal → half → full screen, and back |
| `=` | reset the layout (divider, heights, zoom) |
The divider and pane heights are remembered (zoom isn't). macOS uses
ctrl+arrows for Mission Control and switching desktops by default, hence
the `<` `>` `{` `}` alternatives.
## Rebinding keys
Every action can be rebound in the [config](config.md), per context:
```yaml
keybinding:
lists: # the panes, when not typing
star: [x] # replaces f
versions: [] # unbound
filter: # typing a filter in a pane
star: [ctrl+x]
popup: # popups with a text field: help, notes, open link, Go to while typing
down: [ctrl+j, down]
menu: # popups without a text field
search: # Go to's own actions while typing (on top of popup)
goto: # Go to while browsing
```
An action you set gets exactly the keys you list, replacing its defaults;
`[]` unbinds it. Actions you don't set keep their defaults, also across
layered config files. `lazysecrets keybindings` prints every action with
its keys (your config applied), ready to copy and edit. A key bound to two
actions that apply together is an error at startup, naming both. The help
bar, `?` and every hint show the keys you bound. Fixed: the letters inside
menus (they're part of each entry), and `ctrl+c`, which always quits.
Without the kitty keyboard protocol (or tmux `extended-keys`), some
combinations never reach a terminal app, such as `ctrl+shift+x`, `ctrl+1`
or `ctrl+enter`.
