I’ve been loving zellij.

I don’t know what it is about how my brain works, but I have absolutely no memory for keybinds (and envy those that do), so I love that it just lays them out in the UI.

Only customisation I make is to turn off the borders.

Would love if built a similar, visually guided, experience for nvim.

Definitely would recommend checking out Helix. My brain is similar in that keybindings often don't stick - Helix has a grammar leading to a bit more of a visual interface (you select things first, and then edit, so you can see how things go as you carry out multi-cursor edits etc), but also, it'll show pop-up menus for shortcuts.

In normal mode for instance, "g" is "goto", pressing g also displays a little window that shows the different options and their keys. It's easy to ignore when you know what your doing, and super helpful when you can't remember something!

Should say that it's really similar to the tmux/zellij distinction, in that, helix works nicely out the box, but is a lot more opinionated, there's LSP support for pretty much all languages you'll use, but no plugin eco-system, so if you have a really customised, or AI based workflow for instance, your kinda stuck.

At least LazyVim[1] that I use does have visual help for key shortcuts - I can either press the first key (often prefix aka space) and get a popup of continuation keys, or use <space>sk to search keys.

If you only wanted to use that feature, you could install the whick-key plugin that LazyVim uses: https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim
