Evil snipe in the minibuffer? #73

Closed Galagora closed 3 years ago

Galagora commented 3 years ago

It would be super useful if this worked while in normal state in the minibuffer. Does allowing it cause any issues?

Unfortunately this has nothing to do with evil-snipe itself. You'd have to find a way to enable evil mode in the minibuffer. Check out evil-collection, which has managed to do that by setting evil-collection-setup-minibuffer to t.

I already got Evil to work in the minibuffer (by binding C-<escape> to evil-normal-mode in the global map, so I don't have to press escape twice to leave). The problem appears to be that snipe specifically checks if it's in the minibuffer. Should be a quick fix, I just thought that not doing the check had previously caused issues. It's fairly easy to work around, though so it's not a huge deal:

(map! :g "C-<escape>" (cmd! (progn (evil-normal-state)
                                   (evil-snipe-local-mode +1)
                                   (evil-snipe-override-local-mode +1))))
