Creating and displaying cheatsheets of keybindings
Using a dedicated bind to open the cheat sheet, then having to search it, then eventually applying the desired binding (if it exists in the sheet) in the target buffer is more steps than using which-key, IMO. Fortunately, which-key is pretty configurable -- you can disable it from showing until you explicitly activate which-key manually. According to the GitHub page, it was originally a rewrite of guide-key.

Creating and displaying cheatsheets of keybindings
Ok, I figured out what C-h h invokes on my system: helm-descbinds. See screenshot. So maybe you don't need which-key in the handy deactivated config I linked above—you just need something like helm-descbinds until you develop your ideal cheat-sheet app.

Is there a way to add search to which-key instead of paging and hunting for a command?
Here's what I use, I think it's exactly what you're looking for: https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-descbinds
What are some alternatives?
