this theme makes some assumptions about your default keybindings to customize the buttons, see :h alpha-example
Elevator pitch
alpha is really a general purpose neovim ui library with some conveniences for writing a greeter ui. it has a functional, data-oriented api design. themes are expressed entirely as data, which is what makes alpha "fully customizable". alpha is also the fastest greeter I've benchmarked (which is why I daily drive it myself!).

- only config! doesn't measure drawing, some startup plugins won't measure drawing either
