Description
Feature Request : Ability to add comments into the help view.
Reason: There is no way to provide comments for custom keybinds in the help view.

Attempt: I tried to add hacky comments using shell in-line execution, but the # character still gets exposed to .tigrc parser, and stripped away.

Research direction
Start by tracing how .tigrc keybindings are parsed and how the help view renders custom keybinds. Determine how comments should be represented without exposing the # character to the parser, then verify that comments appear correctly in the help view while existing keybindings continue to work.
