The command was renamed from "View worktree options" to "New worktree",
but its keybinding config key was still 'worktrees.viewWorktreeOptions'.
That name no longer matches the command, and the 'worktrees' section made
little sense: it held a single binding that isn't even used in the
worktrees panel (that panel uses universal.new), only in the branches,
remotes, tags, commits, and stash panels. Other keybinding sections are
named after the panel they're local to; this one wasn't local to any.
Move it to universal.newWorktree, which describes the action and drops the
spurious section, and migrate existing configs automatically.

The old flow forced an up-front "normal vs detached" menu (meaningless for
commits, tags and stashes), then asked the user to type a worktree path from
scratch — easy to get wrong, and ambiguous about what relative paths resolve
against. It also offered the same two actions everywhere regardless of what
was selected.
Replace it with per-context "Worktree" menus whose items imply the intent
(new branch + worktree, worktree for an existing branch, detached worktree),
each feeding a shared name -> location -> create pipeline. The location menu
offers candidate parent directories as absolute paths instead of a blank
field, and "Worktree for a branch" is disabled (with a reason) when that
branch is already checked out somewhere, rather than failing after the fact.
Each ref/commit panel binds 'w' in its own controller and calls the matching
typed entry point on the worktree helper, so which menu opens is decided
statically by the call site rather than by dispatching on a ref's dynamic
type. The three commit panels share one menu through BasicCommitsController;
there is no longer a shared worktree-options controller.
The worktrees-panel 'n' flow and its old core (NewWorktree /
NewWorktreeCheckout) are left untouched here so nothing is written and then
rewritten; they migrate, and the dead i18n strings get removed, in a
follow-up commit.

Until now every keybinding config field was a plain string. That meant a user
couldn't ask for two keys to invoke a command — the config silently accepted
only one form.
Convert every string-typed field across all 13 KeybindingXxxConfig structs to
Keybinding so the union type extends to every command. Defaults wrap their
single-key value in Keybinding{...} so the generated Config.md still renders one
scalar key per binding.
The alt fields keep their separate Binding registrations for now: this commit
does not yet introduce the merge mechanism that folds them into the main field —
that comes in a follow-up. Consumers previously calling opts.GetKeys on a string
field now call opts.GetKeys on the Keybinding, or take .String() / Keys[0] where
a single value is needed.
Adds a Keybinding.String helper for rendering, schema-generator work that
inlines the Keybinding union into each consuming property, and a unit test
covering the user-facing scalar/sequence YAML forms for quit.
Constructing a menu item key from a literal character requires
gocui.NewKeyRune('r'), which is a bit noisy. Add a private menuKey helper in
both the controllers and helpers packages so the common case in either reads as
menuKey('r'). Duplicating the one-liner is cheaper than a cross-package import
dependency and avoids forcing every controller file to qualify the call.
The reason for doing this now is that we are going to change MenuItem.Key to a
slice of keys later in the branch, which means we'd have to add `[]gocui.Key{`
at each call site, making them even more noisy. With the menuKey helper we can
just change its signature and leave all clients unchanged.
This bundles the keyName and a rune, so that we don't have to pass these around
separately everywhere. This should make it easier to swap out the rune for a
string when we upgrade to tcell v3.
It's been ages since we changed the key, users should hopefully be used to it by
now, and we want to reuse the key for something else later in the branch.

When the user checks out a commit which has a local branch ref attached
to it, they can select between checking out the branch or checking out
the commit as detached head.
This might seem controversial; in many cases the client code gets longer,
because it needs an extra line for an explicit `return nil`. I still prefer
this, because it makes it clearer which calls can return errors.
This adds a bunch of tooltips to keybindings and updates some keybinding descriptions (i.e. labels).
It's in preparation for displaying more keybindings on-screen (in the bottom right of the screen),
and so due in part to laziness it shortens some descriptions so that we don't need to manage both
a short and long description (for on-screen vs in-menu). Nonetheless I've added a ShortDescription
field for when we do want to have both a short and long description.
You'll notice that some keybindings I deemed unworthy of the options view have longer descriptions,
because I could get away with it.
Something dumb that we're currently doing is expecting list items
to define an ID method which returns a string. We use that when copying
items to clipboard with ctrl+o and when getting a ref name for diffing.
This commit gets us a little deeper into that hole by explicitly requiring
list items to implement that method so that we can easily use the new
helper functions in list_controller_trait.go.
In future we need to just remove the whole ID thing entirely but I'm too
lazy to do that right now.
We want to show an error when the user tries to invoke an action that expects only
a single item to be selected.
We're using the GetDisabledReason field to enforce this (as well as DisabledReason
on menu items).
I've created a ListControllerTrait to store some shared convenience functions for this.
This requires us to change the 'v' keybinding for paste to something else,
now that 'v' is used globally for toggling range select. So I'm using
'shift+v' and I'm likewise changing 'c' to 'shift+c' for copying, so
that they're consistent.
We will need to clearly communicate this change in keybindings.
We have not been good at consistent casing so far. Now we use 'Sentence case' everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
Also Removing 'Lc' prefix from i18n field names: the 'Lc' stood for lowercase but now that everything
is in 'Sentence case' there's no need for the distinction.
I've got a couple lower case things I've kept: namely, things that show up in parentheses.
