vimhint

vimhint is a tiny macOS menu bar app that gives you a fast, searchable Vim cheatsheet in a right-edge sidebar panel.

Use it while coding without leaving your editor.

CleanShot 2026-03-02 at 15 58 20@2x

Features

  • Global hotkey to show/hide the sidebar
  • Searchable Vim command cheatsheet
  • Non-intrusive right-edge sidebar card
  • Menu bar app (no Dock icon clutter)

Install

  1. Download the latest .dmg from Releases.
  2. Open the DMG and drag vimhint.app into Applications.
  3. Launch vimhint.app.

macOS security note

I don't have an Apple developer license, so Apple will likely block the app at first.

If macOS blocks the app on first launch, remove quarantine:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/vimhint.app

Or right-click vimhint.app in Applications and choose Open.

First launch

  1. Click the menu bar icon.
  2. Set your hotkey.
  3. Press the hotkey to toggle the sidebar.

You can hide the menu bar icon for the current session and bring it back from the sidebar.

Local development

Open vimhint.xcodeproj in Xcode, choose the vimhint scheme, and run on My Mac.
