What if: every Go program had keybindings as good as an editor's?\
Status: released, used in plx

Editors solved keybindings a long time ago. Most terminal programs still hard-code
their keys in a `switch`: no overrides, no menus, and `ctrl+d` means something
different in each one. I hit this in plx, so I took the editors' model and made it
a Go library:
* keys bound in contexts over what's focused, as [cel-lite](https://neuroplast.io/libs/cel-lite) expressions; the deepest context wins
* the user's config as a layer over your defaults
* sequences like `g g` and a leader key, with which-key menus as data
* no UI and no files, so it works the same in a TUI, a GUI or on a phone

From VS Code it takes the layering, from Zed the contexts, from Spacemacs the
leader menus and from Ghostty the key names.
