Description

Improved beginner UX

Assembler

For new users in the realm of Java bytecode the text assembler no longer shows a list of choices to select from that are neatly categorized. Providing some utility for this would be handy.

Perhaps bottom tab in the assembler with bytecode tips/examples would be useful?

Other

Lots of features go unused/unknown by most users. A walk-through of some sorts would be useful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the linked comment in issue #210 to understand the previous assembler behavior. Examine the Recaf source code, especially the assembler module, to identify where to add a bottom tab with bytecode tips or a walk through feature. Since there are no assignees or PRs, the issue is open for contribution.
