Hi Boruch:
I am trying to test the package (because I don't really understand what
it does) but I can't make it work
I evaluated the code and then
M-x key-assist
and I got a prompt but after that what should I do? Tab just inserts a
tab (no autocompletion), RET says "No choices found", inserting a
pattern and TAB shows the commands and the bindings but I can't select
anything.
BTW: Emacs 28 already has a new variable 'suggest-key-bindings'
+++
** When 'suggest-key-bindings' is non-nil, the completion list of 'M-x'
shows equivalent key bindings for all commands that have them.
---
Does this functionality overlap somehow with your package?
Best,
Ergus
