Which-key seems to "steal" the buffer content

[kozer]

I'm using lazyvim, and I have added a keybinding for gen.nvim. It seems that because which-key is triggered, the content of the buffer is empty and so the $text parameter. ( In visual mode ). If I use : to trigger the Gen command, it seems it works as expected.

Hi @kozer ,

Thanks for reporting. I'm not using which-key, do you know how to fix this?

Thank you and best regards, David

[kozer]

No unfortunately. I tried ( but not put much effort into it). ). I'm willing to try to fix it, but can you guide me through debugging? How can I try my changes without pushing?

I am also having the same issue with whichkey. :Gen works as expected.

Hi @kozer ,

Thank you! If you're using lazyvim, you can set it to dev: true:

    {'David-Kunz/gen.nvim', dev = true},

clone the repository and set the path

require('lazy').setup({...}, {dev = {path = "<your_path_to_parent_folder_of_repo>"}})

Thank you @David-Kunz ! I'll try to work on it asap ! Thanks for the info you provided! They are very useful!

I am also using Lazy and have which-key installed. I experienced the exact same issue when I had defined the key bindings in keys inside the plugin config. I solved the issue by setting the keymaps outside of the plugin config using the regular vim.keymap.set method instead. So I don't think which-key is necessarily the problem here.

If I'm not mistaken, this has something to do with how ":" and "" keybindings work with visual mode & its marks.

Try using something like this for the rhs of your keybind: :<c-u>Gen<cr>

I am also using Lazy with which-key enabled, haven't faced any issue

The problem seems to arise when using either "" (nothing and therefore assuming an Editor command) or "" in which key.

Take the following lazy.nvim configuration:

return {
  "David-Kunz/gen.nvim",
  keys = {
    { "<leader>ga", ":Gen<CR>", desc = "Ollama Generate", mode = { "n", "v" } }, -- This Works
    -- { "<leader>ga", "<cmd>Gen<CR>", desc = "Ollama Generate", mode = { "n", "v" } }, -- This does NOT Work
    -- { "<leader>ga", "Gen<CR>", desc = "Ollama Generate", mode = { "n", "v" } }, -- This does NOT Work
  },
  config = function(_, _)
    -- vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ga", ":Gen<CR>", { silent = true }) -- This Works
    -- vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>ga", ":Gen<CR>", { silent = true }) -- This Works
    require("gen").model = "llama2"
  end,
}

Hi @kozer ,

Is this issue solved?

Hi @kozer ,

Is this issue solved?

I also had this issue. Based on @vitorf7 's answer I switched all of my <cmd> to : and it all works fine now for me.

[David-Kunz]

Thanks for the confirmation, @RingOfStorms !
