Stepping away from the project (looking for new maintainer)

Description

Hi all.

As time has gone on, I've found myself using this plugin less and less. At this point I have largely replaced it with which-key.nvim and snacks.picker.

With that said, I don't really have the time to maintain this project anymore, as its gotten quite complex and since I don't use it almost at all anymore, I'm not really invested.

Please chat in the thread if you're interested in maintaining the plugin! If nobody chimes in within a month or so, I'll archive the repo, at which point anyone can still fork it.

Hi, it is sad to discover the plugin gets discontinued, I found it very useful. Thank you for your work over the years!

I use legendary.nvim in complement with which-key.nvim, it does not look like it can be replaced by it alone. My use cases for legendary:

1. Command palette to refresh memory for keybindings (defined by either which-key.nvim or by the lazy.nvim keys field).
2. Command palette for commands/functions that are used less frequently and I did not decide and assign a key binding for them.

The great thing about legendary is that both are available within a single picker.

As for replacement I expect 1. can be probably replaced by :Telescope keymaps. But I am not sure about replacement for 2. ... is your new setup able to replace that?

I switched away from telescope to snacks.picker, and you can do :lua Snacks.picker.keymaps() and :lua Snacks.picker.commands().

I just look at which-key for keys, I rely on commandline completion from blink.cmp for commands, and for arbitrary functions I've done this:

lua/my/cmd-palette.lua

---@class PaletteEntry
---@field text string|fun(buf:number, win:number):string
---@field on_selected fun(buf:number, win:number)

---@type PaletteEntry[]
return {
  {
    text = ' Copy relative filepath',
    on_selected = function(buf)
      local filepath = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(buf)
      if not filepath or #filepath == 0 then
        vim.notify('Could not expand filepath')
        return
      end

      local relpath = vim.fn.simplify(require('my.utils.path').relative(vim.fn.expand('%') --[[@as string]]))
      require('my.utils.clipboard').copy(relpath)
      vim.notify('Relative filepath copied to clipboard')
    end,
  },
  {
    text = '󰊢 Copy git branch name',
    on_selected = function(buf)
      local branch = vim.g.gitsigns_head or vim.b[buf].gitsigns_head
      if not branch or #branch == 0 then
        vim.notify('Could not determine git branch')
        return
      end
      require('my.utils.clipboard').copy(branch)
    end,
  },
}

then my which-key config I have a keymap

{
  '<C-p>',
  function()
    local buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
    local win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
    vim.ui.select(require('my.cmd_palette'), {
      prompt = 'Command Palette',
      format_item = function(
        item --[[@as PaletteEntry]]
      )
        if type(item.text) == 'function' then
          return item.text(buf, win)
        end
        return item.text
      end,
    }, function(
      choice --[[@as PaletteEntry]]
    )
      local callback = vim.tbl_get(choice or {}, 'on_selected')
      if type(callback) == 'function' then
        callback(buf, win)
      end
    end)
  end,
},

Cool, great inspiration, thanks for sharing!
