Boon and Meow (another modal editing package)

[klavul]

https://github.com/DogLooksGood/meow How it compares? What parts can be taken (cheatsheet is cool)?

Can this package be mentioned in Overview section of Readme?

As far as I can see, Meow takes a Kakoune-like approach; boon a vi-like one. With no offense, I am not sure that I care enough to write a detailed comparison. But I'll accept a PR.

Ideas to integrate:

• Building the cheat sheet entirely within emacs would be a plus, but I don't like the staggered layout.
• I don't quite understand the idea of "grab" yet. Is that a kill ring?

Hey, Meow's author here. Boon is awesome, I'd like to share any ideas and thoughts for potential improvements.

For the idea of grab. It make one region synchronized with the current kill(usually the car of kill-ring), so all kill-ring related commands can be used for coordinate editing. It tries to solve the problem that evil-exchange for. Meow has very few Do-What-I-Mean style commands, but introduce/reuse some ideas as the bridge of commands: selection type, kill-ring, regexp-search-history, etc.

I knew boon for a long time, boon borrow some ideas from god-mode, this is what I really like about it.

Recently, I've spent some time thinking how can I create a better document. I just realize boon has a tutorial and leaving a short, clear and attractive README, this is great.
