## Description

vim-which-key is a Vim plugin that displays available keyboard shortcuts and nested prefixes in an interactive popup window for easier command discovery. It serves as an interactive guide that helps users navigate editor keybindings and remember complex command mappings through visual menus.

The plugin provides capabilities for Vim keybinding discovery, Vim plugin configuration, and Vim shortcut organization. Users can organize shortcuts into groups, configure custom group names, and display available keybindings in an interactive popup.

Additional functionality includes labeling shortcuts descriptively, mapping functions to shortcuts, and excluding unwanted shortcuts from the navigation display.
