>> little help popup telling me places I can go. I really appreciate this because I don’t often use the “go to definition” or “go to reference” feature and I often forget the keyboard shortcut.
> Exactly! Pity this basic contextual help isn't more widespread, every single app that uses a lot of keybind sequences could benefit from it, especially if it becomes a bit smarter and only shows a popup if you don't finish the sequence right away
I agree 100%. This would be helpful in so many places. That was my favorite part of the article -- one little paragraph and screenshot, but it made me desperately crave that feature almost everywhere. I agree that it'd need to be smart about it -- after a timeout, as you mentioned, is a great idea. That way it can stay out of your way if you know what you're doing, and only pop up when you hesitate.
Neovim with lazy.nvim has that by default (delay included).
I'm not Neovim person, but would you happen to know what plugin provides that feature?
Sorry I'm exhausted and lazy.nvim is the package manager, but I meant lazyvim which is the distribution. Within this distribution I'm pretty sure it's which-key that provides a popup. If I type <leader> it pops with suggestion (and a little icon in front of each indicating if the next key has sub-commands or not).
