I also think you could have something like which-key on by default. I
have also used which-key at least a year or two, and I have just one
small issue with it: sometimes, when there are lots of options, it
renders botom line only partially. It renders it little behind the
minibuffer, I see only half the height of the bottom line. For me it is
not a major issue, and is probably not hard to fix, I just didn't bother
myself, but if you would have it in Emacs then it might need fix.
