Provide helper function to access recorded keys

[cvigilv]

Problem

I would like to see the possibility of a small helper function that give acces to the user to use the recorded keys table, in order to make use of this key presses in other places e.g. statusline/tabline component, key logger for stats, etc.

Expected behavior

I find the implementation of this feature in tamton-aquib/keys.nvim a good example.

Hi! I like your suggestion. Do you mind checking out statusline-component branch and giving me your feedback when you have time? Thanks!

Lazy.nvim snippet:

{
    "NStefan002/screenkey.nvim",
    cmd = "Screenkey",
    branch = "statusline-component",
    opts = {},
}

Hi! Thanks for the fast response. I would like to use the statusline component without the floating window of Screenkey. From my testing, I need to have the floating window running in order to get the output with the exposed function.

Thanks for the feedback!

Makes sense. I have a few suggestions for this, let me know which one you like the most:

• statusline component is always active, regardless of the Screenkey window
• toggle the statusline component with something like :Screenkey statusline
• toggle the statusline component with something like vim.g.screenkey_statusline = true/false
• combination of the previous two
• some other method

I think the best alternative is something like vim.g.screenkey_statusline = true/false, since that way the plugin is not running constantly and produce latency issues or other problems

Thanks!

I added the feature in the statusline-component branch along with the usage example in the how to use section of the README. Can you give me feedback when you have time?

Thanks for all the help
