Added a keybinds section to display specs whenever
This section shows the user the availability of the `show_specs()` function which gives them the ability to add it to keybinds to find the cursor easily. Shows them example use cases as well outside of just invoking it regularly.

# specs.nvim 👓
Show where your cursor moves when jumping large distances (e.g between windows). Fast and lightweight, written completely in Lua.

## Install
Using [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim):
```lua
use {'edluffy/specs.nvim'}
```
Using [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
```vimscript
Plug 'edluffy/specs.nvim'
```
## Usage
If you are using init.vim instead of init.lua, remember to wrap block below with `lua << EOF` and `EOF`
```lua
require('specs').setup{
show_jumps = true,
min_jump = 30,
popup = {
delay_ms = 0, -- delay before popup displays
inc_ms = 10, -- time increments used for fade/resize effects
blend = 10, -- starting blend, between 0-100 (fully transparent), see :h winblend
width = 10,
winhl = "PMenu",
fader = require('specs').linear_fader,
resizer = require('specs').shrink_resizer
},
ignore_filetypes = {},
ignore_buftypes = {
nofile = true,
},
}
```
- `:lua require('specs').toggle()`
- Toggle Specs on/off
Faders:
- linear_fader `▁▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅▆▆▇▇██`
- exp_fader `▁▁▁▁▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▅▆▇`
- pulse_fader `▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁`
- empty_fader `▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁`
Resizers:
- shrink_resizer `░░▒▒▓█████▓▒▒░░`
- slide_resizer `████▓▓▓▒▒▒▒░░░░`
- empty_resizer `███████████████`
You can implement your own custom fader/resizer functions for some pretty cool effects:
```lua
require('specs').setup{
popup = {
-- Simple constant blend effect
fader = function(blend, cnt)
if cnt > 100 then
return 80
else return nil end
end,
-- Growing effect from left to right
resizer = function(width, ccol, cnt)
if width-cnt > 0 then
return {width+cnt, ccol}
else return nil end
end,
}
}
```
### Keybinds
You can invoke specs from anywhere by using `:lua require('specs').show_specs()`
Add a keybind for this to make it easy to find your cursor at any time.
```lua
-- Press <C-b> to call specs!
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<C-b>', ':lua require("specs").show_specs()', { noremap = true, silent = true })
-- You can even bind it to search jumping and more, example:
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'n', 'n:lua require("specs").show_specs()<CR>', { noremap = true, silent = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'N', 'N:lua require("specs").show_specs()<CR>', { noremap = true, silent = true })
```
## Planned Features
- [ ] More builtin faders + resizers
- [ ] Colorizers
- [ ] Optional highlight on text yank
