Re: Hercules.el vs hydra for Emacs shortkey bindings managemant.

[Ergus via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor <help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

Maybe this is not what you want. But emacs 28 adds a third alternative with a simpler approach: repeat-mode. It is not for people who want a complex hydra experience and many fancy options. 
But for the basic functionality it works, is simpler to configure and much faster. Customization is also simpler and pretty clear. And less intrusive showing the bindings.

Sadly Hercules and hydra seems low maintained these days. That's why I removed both from my config recently.
