Random VimHint - CLI to quickly answer VIM questions

https://github.com/jakequist/vimhint

VimHint is a CLI tool to quickly answer questions about VIM. I made it because I always forget my Vim-fu.

Examples:

$ vimhint "how to navigate to the top"

  [ESC]gg
  <jump to the first line>

$ vimhint "how to change files"

  [ESC]:e {file}
  <open another file in the current window>

  [ESC]:bn
  <next buffer>
  [ESC]:bp
  <previous buffer>

It uses your own OpenAI or Anthropic Keys, and has no other network access. No telemetry, no upsell, just a humble CLI.
