Command palette panel doesn't show anything

[bryangeplant]

When I run the command palette command, no commands show up in the panel. When I press enter to select something, an ugly error message shows up, but could be expected given that, I pressed nothing. Still, not showing anything is weird.

        { "entire selection (C-a)", ':call feedkeys("GVgg")' },

Hello and thank you for reporting this issue.

My first guess was that:

The error happens because you defined commands outside of telescope setup section. If you follow the README file and define commands inside setup section of telescope, the error will be solved.

But i tried to use your approach that defined telescope variable first and call setup function on it. And surprisingly got same error message!

So please use the approach mentioned in README file.

require('telescope').setup({
  extensions = {
    command_palette = {
      -- your commands goes here
    }
  }
})

@bryangeplant

Can you please tell me if you still get the same errors?

Note that the OP has a typo in it; command_pallete vs command_palette, which probably is the cause of the issue.
