Mnemonic Menu with Which-Key
Spacemacs uses which-key to create a menus system of keybindings for the most commonly used commands.
Single chord keybindings are preferred, e.g. SCP p f
rather than C-x C-p C-f
, which are easier to remember and less of a strain to type. fs
Mnemonic characters for keys are used where possible, aiding memorability of keybindings.
