Description

Currently it looks like this: image It would be awesome to provide the similar looking visual mode, but with the hotkeys for each columns.

For example on the screenshot you see the 7th column with high entropy, which might be of our interest. But there is no indication how to get there. So in the visual alternative to p== command there are will be hotkeys to go for the each section, like we have the hotkeys in the visual disasm or graph modes.

Research direction
Examine existing visual modes in radare2 (e.g., visual disasm, graph modes) to understand how hotkeys and interactive elements are implemented. Review the current `p==` command output in the codebase, likely in the 'core' or 'visual' directories. Check related issues #14748 and #14697 for additional context. The implementation should add hotkeys for each column in the histogram, similar to the vertical scrolling mode mentioned in #14748.
