@folke do you refer to:

 -- Enable/disable WhichKey for certain mapping modes
  modes = {
    n = true, -- Normal mode
    i = true, -- Insert mode
    x = true, -- Visual mode
    s = true, -- Select mode
    o = true, -- Operator pending mode
    t = true, -- Terminal mode
    c = true, -- Command mode
  },

?

Maybe I had other intentions than the author, but in v2.1.0 you were able to select lines/block, without the which-key popup. Only when you pressed an additional key, like leader or g, the popup showed up. Is this possible with v3? I really liked this behaviour, because this made yanking/pasting/cutting text less distracting. Still thank you for the great plugin :)

[folke]

ok, I'll see if I can add this

I've checked and noticed a change in behavior.

In the old version of which-key

1. Press v
2. Get which-key help
3. Press esc
4. You are back to normal mode

In which-key v3

1. Press v
2. Get which-key help
3. Press esc
4. You are still in visual mode

The old one was much better, is it possible to bring it back?

Op's issue is fixed.

As for @Fabian-programmer I'm afraid that's not that simple anymore. v2 created real keymaps for v and V and friends. v3 no longer does that and hooks into ModeChanged to show which-key.

There are no trigger either for operator pending keymaps like i or a.

So while I technically could disable showing in ModeChanged, you wouldn't be able to trigger which-key next with i etc.
