question on local leader maps

[klooj]

First of all, thank you. I've been wanting to corral my which-key lua hacks into a plugin but never got it together. I'm going to be implementing this tonight.

My question is, does this allow having individual local leader which-key popups that are unique to each filetype? so no more of this:

[klooj]

turns out my hacks were almost identical to this plugin. setup took 2 seconds and already so much better.

i have not figured out the buffer specific localleader popup guide though. local leader descriptions persist across buffers, unless they're changed to something else. I used wk.register_keymap('localleader', llmaps, {noremap = true, silent = true, bufnr = 0}). is this expected?

Hi @klooj! Nice to hear that we found the same solutions :)

Hmm, that's strange. Indeed the intention is that that would setup keybindings only in the current buffer. I have to check what goes wrong. I'm away from my computer until Thursday so will check it then.

[klooj]

No rush. It was so easy to setup that I haven't done a proper deep dive yet. I may figure it out before then.

[AckslD]

Cool, let me know if you do :)

@klooj I now understand the issue, which is for the descriptions, i.e. not the keybindings themselves. Do you know how this is normally handled by whichkey actually?

[klooj]

i'm not sure. whichkey did not handle this at all but then the last time i checked, like 6 months ago, a feature a branch was added to handle this specifically. so, i don't know the state of affairs right now.

[klooj]

just so we're on the same page, I framed my initial post as a question because this functionality did not yet exist in the wild, as far i know.

I love the nvim-whichkey-setup plugin but this issue is really quite annoying. Would love if it was fixed soon.

[AckslD]

@famiu I definitely agree but this is not something we can really fix here but should be fixed in which-key itself. As mentioned by @klooj there is an open PR for this but not yet merged. Hopefully this will get merged soon. Whenever that happens I'll make sure to do any updates needed here.
