Alpha (maybe) blocking -c commands? #22

Closed mara-kr closed 3 years ago

mara-kr commented 3 years ago

Hi! I have a shell alias journal that maps to nvim -c "WikiJournal" (using wiki.vim). The issue: running journal from shell takes me to my alpha start screen instead of to my journal in wiki.vim. From the alpha start screen, I can run:WikiJournal without any issues, but passing in commands from shell doesn't seem to cooperate. I'm synced with main, nvim v0.5.0.

Love the plugin! Happy to help fix, I just don't know where to start.

fixed in https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim/commit/f3232015014e1e276dcf1a091fd059b641f17a22

i'm not really happy with how janky it is to specify the conditions under which alpha shouldn't launch at VimEnter, but i guess it's better to be restrictive

unintended side effect: this will trick https://github.com/dstein64/vim-startuptime into reporting a faster startup time than reality since it passes -c ':q' to nvim
