Fixes Maxteabag#83 The 'Commands' hint was positioned at the far right of the status bar, making it nearly invisible to users. Many users couldn't find how to exit the application. Changed the leader_key binding to not use right=True, so the hint now appears on the left with other hints where it's more discoverable. Also renamed label from 'Leader' to 'Commands' for clarity.
