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?

Currently its on you to read https://recaf.coley.software/user/info/jvm-instructions.html externally.

Other

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