Feature request: Hint mode gets a smaller hint section on choosing cursor point

sathishmanohar opened this issue · comments

Currently for hint mode the screen roughly becomes like this

____________________________
|aa      ba      ca      da|
|                          |
|ab      bb      cb      db|
|                          |
|ac      bc      cc      dc|
|                          |
|ad      bd      cd      dd|

On selecting the cursor point let us say cb it becomes like this and I have move my mouse with hjkl keys as in normal mode

|                          |
|                          |
|                          |

Instead of entering the normal mode if the selected cursor point becomes like this with a zoomed in hint mode it will be much easier and initiative user experience in my opinion.

This way the cursor can be placed in desired spot with just one more keypress instead of trying to navigate with precisely with hjkl keys

I'm not fully understanding. How is that different from the "2 stage hint mode"? Looking here it's bound to A-M-X (Alt+Win+Shift+x on windows) by default. That's as opposed to A-M-x (Alt+Win+x) that triggers the single pass hint mode.

I didn't know this mode existed. This is exactly what I want. Perhaps it should be included in the readme.

Cool! I'm glad that I could help. I think it's a great idea.
I think the readme can be greatly improved. I started making notes with what I've learned but I don't have the tool working for me yet so my notes are far from complete.
