I know a lot of you all would be infuriated by this plugin. here are some reasons for me to use it:
-
There are times when i'd want to perform some action but i dont want to set command/mapping for it, like one of those gitsigns commands, they're very useful and so many commands but i rarely use them. So a menu option with quick mouse click or menu opened from keybind would suffice!
-
I already got so many keybinds, I dont want to add more if I dont use it too frequently so I could use this menu!
-
I use my pc for more than 10 hours a day ( including, for the remote job I got ) and my keyboard usage is very high cuz of Vim so at times my fingers hurt and using mouse would tone it down.
