KeyBindingHelpDialog

Family: Shells & Overlays
Namespace: Tessera.Controls

Use KeyBindingHelpDialog when this interaction is the best match for your screen workflow.

When to use​

  • You need a KeyBindingHelpDialog-style interaction inside the shells & overlays lane.
  • A titled widget surface improves scanability in dense shells.
  • The control is mainly presentational or state-driven through property updates.

Minimal usage​

csharp.cs
using Tessera.Controls;
using Tessera.Layout;

var widget = new KeyBindingHelpDialog
{
    Title = "KeyBindingHelpDialog"
};

return Screen.Build(window => window.Body(body => body.Center(widget, width: 44, height: 9)));

Common pitfalls​

  • Do not choose KeyBindingHelpDialog by name only; validate it against the target workflow.
  • Keep this control scoped to the shells & overlays concern; avoid cross-layer state coupling.
  • Set focused/normal styles intentionally so keyboard focus remains obvious.
  • Keep disabled state explicit and reversible so users understand why actions are blocked.
