It's not UI related. It's not even YaST related.
Ctrl-Alt-F2 for example is in no way YaST-specific; this is a very basic Linux
key combination. No offense, but users who don't know this key combination
should better not try to issue commands in that root shell running on console
2. This might result in any number of interesting disasters, including losing
all data on the attached hard disk(s).
Reading some documentation and/or a Linux book first is strongly recommended.
Also, please think about what you are demanding here. The help text of the
installation workflow surely is not the right place to teach users basic Linux
skills. It would only clutter the help that is really relevant at that time.
Where would such a help text you envision begin, where would it end? Key
combinations like Ctrl-Alt-F2 are just the beginning. Others might want some
instruction how to find out what disk partition contains what (how to read
/proc/mounts, how to invoke fdisk or parted), how to mount a partition to view
files, how to view files, etc.; other users yet might want to do completely
different things on that root shell and expect hints for whatever they would
like to do.
All this is clearly out of scope for the installer help texts. WAY out of
scope. That's what our manuals are for.
