 You start a shortcut but you're unsure ? You want to know what are the other shortcuts available in the current major mode ? Or even global shortcuts ? You can discover all this with [https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key#additional-commands which-key].
-Once you have installed it (it's in [[melpa]]), activate it with '''M-x which-key-mode''', start a keybinding (say "C-c") but don't finish it and wait for 1s (the default): now which-key will open a pop-up that lists all keybindings that follow "C-c".

 This packages improves on [https://github.com/kai2nenobu/guide-key guide-key] in a few ways: It has pages to scroll through instead of taking up your whole screen, more options, and the ability to see all the "top-level" bindings.

		+	== Hercules, joining which-key-mode and Hydras ==
		+
		+	[https://gitlab.com/jjzmajic/hercules.el Hercules] is a new mode that groups related commands, as with which-key-mode, and sequentially with no prefix keys, as with hydras, but it does that automatically. We don't have to copy hydras in our init files, they are created on the fly.

However, discover.el is a bit outdated (it didn't update with the improvements of Magit) and less featurefull than Hydras. But it's easy to use and to write your own discoverable commands too. See how it's used to help discover Dired, "search-forward" (C-s) or [https://github.com/zenozeng/yafolding.el#discover-commands-with-a-context-menu yafolding].
