## What it is
A Neovim plugin that ports the Emacs Hydra concept, letting users create custom keybinding submodes and menus where repeated commands run without re-pressing a prefix. It supports configurable hints, colors, and exit behavior for grouped keybindings.

## Use cases
- repeat window resizing without re-pressing prefix keys
- create custom keybinding menus in Neovim
- scroll buffer horizontally with repeated single keys
- build a git command submode in Neovim
- show a hint panel for grouped keybindings
- port Emacs Hydra workflows to Neovim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want Emacs-style Hydra submodes
- you frequently repeat prefixed commands like window resizing or scrolling
- you want discoverable menus for grouped keybindings

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim
- you prefer vanilla Vim keybindings with count prefixes
- you need a plugin with an explicit license or active maintenance guarantees
