A Neovim plugin that shows available keybindings in a popup as you type, helping users remember their keymaps. It supports multiple modes, customizable layouts, icons, and built-in plugins for marks, registers, and spelling suggestions.

Use cases

• show available keybindings in a popup while typing in neovim
• remember what my leader key mappings do
• discover buffer-local keymaps in neovim
• get help for operators, motions and text objects
• keep a keybinding cheat sheet popup open until I press escape
• browse marks and registers with a popup

When to choose

• you use Neovim (>= 0.9.4) and want on-demand keybinding discovery
• you have many leader-key mappings and forget what they do
• you want customizable popup layouts, sorting, and icon support

When to avoid

• you don't use Neovim or use Vim without Lua support
• you prefer minimal setups with no popup overlays
• you need keybinding help outside the editor
