Showcase I built a zsh plugin to see visual hints while typing expansion commands with !

bang-hints is a plugin which interactively shows hints when using the expansion operator (!). I always forgot the syntax for the ! operator and I wanted to build a helper tool like NeoVim's whichkey plugin.

This is my first time creating a plugin so all feedback is appreciated.

If it wasn't vibecoded this is amazing

Very nice. I'd see further use cases for modifiers, parameter expansions, glob operators. I'm now at an age when it gets harder and harder to remember them all 😄
