Conversation
Centralize app actions in a single registry that feeds the keybinding matcher, command palette, help screen, and a new auto-footer (one-line key hint bar). Each Action couples a stable string id to a label, description, category, optional KeyEvent binding, and optional handler callback. Aliases let multiple keys map to one action. Footer auto-renders the bindings flagged with show_in_footer = true, so the hint bar stays in sync with the registry as actions are enabled/disabled or rebound at runtime.

Summary
Centralizes app actions in a single registry (`ActionRegistry`) that becomes the single source of truth for keybindings, the command palette, help screen, and a new auto-rendered footer. Inspired by Textual's action system.
How it works
Each `Action` couples a stable string id (`"app.quit"`, `"file.save"`) to a label, description, category, optional `KeyEvent` binding, and optional handler callback. The user's `update` looks up the matching action by id and dispatches:
```zig
if (registry.matchKey(key_event)) |a| {
return self.dispatch(a.id);
}
```
The same registry can be filtered (`registry.filter(query)`) to feed a `CommandPalette`, and a `Footer` reads it to render a key hint bar that stays in sync as actions are enabled/disabled or rebound.
API surface
Why now
The codebase already has a `KeyMap` / `KeyBinding` pair and a `CommandPalette`. `ActionRegistry` unifies them: register once, the palette and footer pick the same data up automatically.
