Description
**Describe the bug**
In the "Local Branches" box, some branch operations use checked out branch, while others use the selected branch
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. check out a branch and then use j/k to select a different branch
2. press `P`, this will push the checked out branch.
3. press `o`, this will open a pull request for the selected branch
This is confusing since both commands operate on a single branch, so its not clear why there are two different mental models here.
**Expected behavior**
Either:
* the menu brought up `?` should display which operations use the checked out branch and which on the selected branch
* all commands should operate on one or the other (obviously commands like rebase are excluded from this since they need to use both)
**Screenshots**
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
