A collection of intuitive, easily searchable,and ready-to-use commands.

  • Don't need to bind everything to a shortcut, just search the command if you need
  • Same command, same behaivour for deffirent language but the implementation details are hinding from the end user
  • Your can still easily find the actual implementation by search the command names in this repo

Why this plugin?

Something like IDEA's Find Actions or Vscode's Show All Commands or Obsidian's Open Commands.

  • Stability!
    • Commands acting like an interface layer can remain stable for your own workflow.
      • Neovim and its community are evolving rapidly, you may use different plugin to achieve to same goal in your workflow
      • However, switch plugins and rebind the keymappings can be time-consuming and cumbersome
      • Therefore, as long as your workflow remains the same, you can map abstract commands to your keys and care less about the actual implementation.
  • Readable and Searchable commands
  • Best solution to achieve one specific command (tring to be).
    • Sometimes it may be difficult for newcomers to find a nice plugin to perform an action, but you can search for commands and look into the underlying implementation to get an idea of what plugin you can use.
  • Save your key mappings, but still make them easy to reach and use.
    • Not every command is frequently used. You don't need to map everything to a key binding, but you can still search for and trigger it when you need it once in a while.
