## What it is
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
