Simple key guide package

I would like to inform you about some small project, named key-guide
<https://github.com/notifications>.
It is another 'key guide' package, with functionality in between
(pretty-)hydra (or transient) and which-key, but much quicker to use
(which has its advantages and disadvantages).

So the package prints a simple key guide (providing which-key and hydra
style formatting options).

It is similar to hydra in the sense that it organizes key bindings by
categories
(but without using a separate keymap).
It is similar to which-key, because it includes functionality to infer from
a function name
which key to print  (and the other way around).

It is strongly inspired by the pretty hydra
<https://melpa.org/#/pretty-hydra> package, but when trying to use that
package (for 'documenting the 'ebib' package), I found it too much work to
once more define another complete keymap for it.

The package is especially handy for non-text-editing modes (like Info, ebib
modes or sketch mode).

I am not planning to put much more work in it, but just wanted to inform
you about its existence,
so you can use/extend it or contibute when interested.

You seem to have inserted the wrong link?

Oops, thanks! Here is the correct link
https://github.com/dalanicolai/emacs-key-guide.

B.t.w. it does not add much to `pretty-hydra`, maybe I should just have
extended pretty hydra,
with a function that simply 'gathers' function names by giving it a list of
'key-strings'.
But I remembered that hydra was not a good option for `sketch-mode` so I
wanted to create
this anyway for that package.
And somehow it feels not right to create an extra keymap, just to have a
key-guide. But on the
other hand, that could also be just a better approach (that is hard to
'decide' ).

If anyone has some ideas about it, they are very welcome. Otherwise and in
any case this is just
very similar to pretty hydra, but without depending on the hydra package
and introducing extra
keymaps.
