showkeys.hx

A Helix plugin to display pressed keys on screen.

showkeys.webm

Usage

:showkeys-toggle to enable/disable.

Installation

Follow the instructions here to install Helix on the plugin branch.

Then, install the plugin with:

forge pkg install --git https://github.com/HeitorAugustoLN/showkeys.hx.git

Once installed, you can add the following to init.scm in your Helix config directory:

(require "showkeys/showkeys.scm")

Limitations

Due to the way the Helix plugin system handles events, this plugin does not capture or display keys pressed while in command mode (e.g., after pressing :). It works correctly in other modes like normal and insert mode.
