How to inspect key command or binding?

[Abdillah]

Hello, I would like to know is there a way to dynamically print a command after pressing sequence of keys or a key. A case would be to help rebind it in the config file properly.

e.g. I try to rebind keys.selection hijk to other keys.

The closest we have currently is the command palette with <space> ?. Bind keys are shown between parenthesis. However, this doesn't show the command name, but the description.

You can search for the description in commands.rs and find the actual command name.

This isn't exactly ideal, and I think this is a good candidate for a feature request.

Something like xev would be good and we can print out the keys users press, but not sure if it is useful to have something just for helix.
