Hydra [1] is a really nice package for creating keymaps that are similar
to keymaps under a prefix key.  Hydra has lots of little features, but
two main advantages of using a hydra over a standard prefix key are that
commands are repeatable with a single key and that a menu displays the
key/command information.  Have a look at hydra-examples.el [2] for some
use cases.
