I think so. IIUC Magit uses the `transient` package for that functionality, right? I do think it gives a very nice user experience for some things. The most obvious case that comes to my mind is those of major modes that have several of `C-c C- C-` bindings (e.g. to insert code templates or other such things) which I never even try to use because I find those key bindings just much too long to remember. So, yes, I do hope that this gets adopted more widely. Stefan
