I have been using a plugin recently in Rider that basically hooks most features of the app to notifications that teach me the current keyboard shortcut for said feature. It has some customization options such as needing a threshold of usages before prompting, reminders, etc. It’s even gamified a little bit by tracking how many times you successfully used the shortcuts and how much time you estimatedly saved.
I really like this plugin and I’m wondering if anyone knows of a similar plugin for NeoVim? I have been exclusively using NeoVim at home for terminal file edits to help learn it and I’m getting better slowly but I just figured maybe I could accelerate this with something helpful like that.
If this doesn’t exist, does anyone have any offhand resources for getting started with NeoVim plugin development?
I know of which-key.nvim that help you search your key map.
There is somewhere a plugin that will belittle you for using jjj instead of 3j too, and I think that’s more like what you look for. I couldn’t find it, if anyone knows it!
Were you thinking of the Hardtime plugin?
Which-key is great, btw. I think I learn a new shortcut or something every day using it.
Yes, that’s the one!
Yeah I found which key and that has been a little more useful than nothing, but it’s a half-way solution, like showing shortcut next to menu items in a normal GUI application. Thank you for the suggestion!
theres a plugin called hardtime.nvim that does almost exactly what you have described. It goes a bit further and actually prevents you from doing certain things if you meet a threshold (like spamming j to go down a bunch if lines instea d of something like 15j to move 15 lines down)
