 ** which-key
 
+which-key is an excellent package that helps provide guide posts for command
+discoverability. many key commands in Emacs are in sequences. for example,
+~org-babel-tangle~ is ~C-c C-v t~. as a user, the commands you use often
+become muscle memory, or you map them to something more convienient. but
+sometimes you know there is some command to do what you want but you don't
+quite remember what the sequence is. or perhaps you're in a new major-mode
+and you know there must be several handy commands under ~C-c~. ~which-key~
+pops up a buffer with a listing of all the possible continuations from where
+you are in a key sequence. for that reason, it can be useful at times even
+for experienced users.
+
+this config installs which-key, but does not activate it automatically.
+some advice from Daniel Mendler (consult author) suggested that limiting the
+amount Emacs pops things up automatically is a better user experience.
+which-key is just a toggle away when needed, and there is also [[*embark][embark]]
+which has a command to show prefix key continuations.
