KeySeer.nvim

A Neovim plugin that renders a keyboard displaying which keys have assigned actions.

• Colorscheme: Tokyonight

⚡️ Features

• Display which keys have keymaps

📋 Installation

There are two branches to install from:

• main (default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
• stable will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in main branch.

Here are code snippets for some common installation methods:

• With folke/lazy.nvim:

Branch	Code snippet
Main	{ 'jokajak/keyseer.nvim', version = false },
Stable	{ 'jokajak/keyseer.nvim', version = '*' },

• With wbthomason/packer.nvim:

Branch	Code snippet
Main	use {'jokajak/keyseer.nvim', config = function() require('keyseer').setup() end }
Stable	use { 'jokajak/keyseer.nvim', branch = 'stable' }
