where to put keymappings if using lazy.nvim

[svenXY]

Hi, sorry, but I just cannot get the keymappings to work properly with lazy.nvim.

I have tried

return {
  'mrjones2014/smart-splits.nvim',
  build = './kitty/install-kittens.bash',
  keys = {
    {'n', '<A-h>', require('smart-splits').resize_left, desc='Resize left'},
    {'n', '<A-j>', require('smart-splits').resize_down, desc='Resize down'},
    {'n', '<A-k>', require('smart-splits').resize_up, desc='Resize up'},
    {'n', '<A-l>', require('smart-splits').resize_right, desc='Resize right'},
    {'n', '<C-h>', require('smart-splits').move_cursor_left, desc='Move left'},
    {'n', '<C-j>', require('smart-splits').move_cursor_down, desc='Move down'},
    {'n', '<C-k>', require('smart-splits').move_cursor_up, desc='Move up'},
    {'n', '<C-l>', require('smart-splits').move_cursor_right, desc='Move right'},
    {'n', '<leader><leader>h', require('smart-splits').swap_buf_left, desc='Swap buffer left'},
    {'n', '<leader><leader>j', require('smart-splits').swap_buf_down, desc='Swap buffer down'},
    {'n', '<leader><leader>k', require('smart-splits').swap_buf_up, desc='Swap buffer up'},
    {'n', '<leader><leader>l', require('smart-splits').swap_buf_right, desc='Swap buffer right'},
  }

}

But that complains that there is no module smart-splits.

Then I tried to add lazy = false to it and added the commands you described to a different lua file, but then :nmap <c-j> says unmappd...

Just adding them to another lua file also did not work for me. I'm not a lua developer, so I have no clue where to start off.

I understand that there is legendary.nvim, but I currently do not want to add another plugin for keybindings (I have which-key already).

Any hints greatly appreciated.

[mrjones2014]

So, if you define them that way, it will try to require the plugin before the plugin has been loaded, since this is what is telling lazy.nvim how to load the plugin.

The easiest thing would be to just wrap the keymaps in a function like:

keys = {
  {'n', '<A-h>', function() require('smart-splits').resize_left() end, desc='Resize left'},
}

If you happen to be a legendary.nvim user as well, there's also a built-in extension for smart-splits.nvim as well.

I tried this and it does not work - the maps are not registered at all, nothing happens

nvm, I'm using legendary right now and it works, but htere I'm struggling with which-key integration when using lazy to install both. Is there a straightforward way to do it, meaning: would it be possible to add an example to the docs on how to best do it with lazy? thanks... great plugins btw!

[mrjones2014]

The which-key.nvim extension for legendary.nvim is dependent on load order if you want to auto-load items into both, unfortunately there isn't really any way around that. If you open a discussion on the legendary.nvim repo, we can go from there, but the tl;dr: is the order of operations needed to make the which-key.nvim extension work properly is:

• which-key.nvim loaded by plugin manager onto Neovim's runtimepath, but do not load the keymaps yet
• legendary.nvim loaded and initialized via require('legendary').setup(opts)
• Register your keymaps with which-key.nvim, now that both plugins are ready, which-key.nvim items will be auto-loaded into legendary.nvim

Sorry to hijack the question, but I can open another one if this is pertinent. Yesterday I updated both Neovim (nightly) and Lazy.vim and now I cannot navigate out of Neovim. Moving between splits (neovim) and panes (tmux) works fine. But I cannot move out from Neovim to Tmux (I can from Tmux to Neovim).

I'm clueless about the cause of the issue, so hopefully you can help me :)

[mrjones2014]

Hm, nothing useful there unfortunately. Could you open a new issue and we can debug further from there?

[KadoBOT]

While opening the issue, I decided to check which tmux version I had (3.2a), so I upgraded it to the latest (tmux 3.3a). After that, it started working again :)
Not sure what happened tho, so I cannot provide any helpful information on what caused this.

[mrjones2014]

Ah interesting, I wonder if tmux just broke something on their end (versions ending with a are pre-release if I remember correctly, right?)

[KadoBOT]

It doesn't say anything about being a pre-release version. Probably it was at some point, but not anymore.
The weird thing is that it used to work even on the previous version. But anyway, it's working now.
Cheers!
