description
Vim has got several whichkey like plugins for keymap hints and I've tried each of them one
by one and found them always lacking in some way. As a result, I've made the decision to
create my own plugin, which is similar to whichkey but with some exciting enhancements.

Features:

- Better layout: each column can have different width.
- Columns with short texts will not occupy a lot of space.
- Fully customizable: separator style and visibility, bracket (around key character) visibility, spacing, padding, highlighting, and position.
- Zero timeout mode and adaptive window size.
- Buffer local keymaps for different file types.
- Unambiguity syntax to define a command or key sequence.
- Runtime keymap generation, items can be decided at runtime.
- Can use popup for vim 8.2+ and floatwin for nvim 0.6.0+
- Legacy Vim compatibility (only requires Vim 7.4.2364).
