I loaded sortie.el and keysee.el, and turned on > kc-auto-mode. Please read the description. Key See is not Which-Key. Key See shows you the available keys, and their commands, at any point (any time). It shows you _descriptions_ of the keys and commands. You can complete (normally) against those descriptions. So if you type `C-x' you're shown descriptions (names) of all keys & commands in that prefix-key's keymap (`ctl-x-map'). You can narrow the help by completing against key names or command names (or both). That means typing text to complete against the names, not hitting keys to continue the `C-x' key sequence. It's a different UI (it's the standard Emacs UI, with `completing-read'). Different pros & cons. I think what it does is clear from the doc. But if you don't read the doc and just expect which-key behavior... ;-) Hope it's clear now. It's different from which-key. I pointed also to its big brother, Icicles key completion, which offers more. The idea is the same. The description in the Icicles doc is more elaborate, with screenshots etc. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-_Key_Completion
