not sure what it offers? potentially you might not of heard of whichkey? Also, given how little is in the repo, not quite sure why you think this is worth showing on HN?

have someone I want to teach vim to and wanted a simple and less intimidating experience for them for example to be able to exit without too much trouble :)

TIL about the '0' command. I have been using '^' to accomplish a similar motion for well over a decade now.

For those curious, '^' moves the cursor to the first non-whitespace character of a line, while '0' moves the curious to the absolute beginning of the line.

hey, i went the other way! i had been using `0` for years and discovered that `_` goes to the first non-whitespace character of the line (which is most of what i want).

til that '^' does the same as '_', cool! (there's probably some teeny difference between them)

I'm lazy and just use 'w' all the time
