Problem

The status bar still exposes command-entry copy such as :w after the launch scope was simplified.

That command-line affordance adds editor-like surface and stale keyboard guidance that no longer matches the intended minimal fixed-shortcut UI.

Solution

Remove :w / colon-command entry text from the status bar.
Remove any status/help path that suggests command-entry mode for saving.
Keep direct fixed shortcuts where they remain supported.
Avoid adding a replacement command palette or editable keybinding surface.

Acceptance criteria

The status bar no longer displays :w or colon-entry guidance.
Saving still works through the remaining explicit UI/default shortcut path.
No keymap customization UI is reintroduced.
