  • 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.
