In plain words

Vim-which-key is a Vim plugin that ports the Emacs which-key functionality to Vim. It displays available keybindings in a popup menu when users pause after pressing a key combination, helping them discover and remember commands. The tool is designed for Vim users who want better visibility into their keyboard shortcuts without leaving the editor. It's useful for both beginners learning Vim commands and experienced users exploring custom keybindings.
