I explain what I dislike about which-key and what I think people should use instead.

    [ The problem I have which which-key is that it applies only after a prefix. ]
    Mutating a keymap with setc[ad]r is evil! Since you bind that map to a prefix, why not use (menu-item "dummy" KEYMAP :filter FUNCTION) instead?
    [ The problem with this trick is that it can be used only after a prefix. 🙃 ]

      There are commands which-key-show-major-mode and which-key-show-top-level, which you could use. On the embark side, there is embark-bindings which by default gives you bindings from the major mode and minor modes, but with C-u will give you global bindings.

      Agreed.

      why not use (menu-item “dummy” KEYMAP :filter FUNCTION) instead?

      Only because I didn’t think of it!
