Description

Message at bottom bar flashes (F1 / Ctrl-g)

I am often distracted by the constant toggle at the rightmost part of the bottom bar between "F1: help" and "Ctrl-g: help".

It happens, in my case, every time I scroll up or down two lines.

Could you please fix the blinking by fixating the message? By the way, since F1 is taken by Terminator, in my case "Ctrl-g: help" would be the most useful message.
