Newbie issues with configuring

[moondialectix]

Hey, sorry for the issue, can't invoke VBox and when I start up nvim I get these error messages from the config file

Error detected while processing /home/moondialectix/.config/nvim/init.vim: line 8: E492: Not an editor command: -- venn.nvim: enable or disable keymappings line 9: E121: Undefined variable: _G line 10: E492: Not an editor command: local venn_enabled = vim.inspect(vim.b.venn_ena bled) line 11: E121: Undefined variable: venn_enabled E15: Invalid expression: venn_enabled == "nil" then line 26: E580: :endif without :if: end line 27: E492: Not an editor command: -- toggle keymappings for venn using v "nvim_set_keymap('n'," [New File] Cannot open file "nvim_set_keymap('n'," "'v'," [New File] "":lua" [New File]

a few of these errors are obviously just about the comments, but the rest ii have no idea what to do with

Hi,

It seems the errors are showing because init.vim is Vimscript but the configuration is in Lua. Try putting the configuration code inside delimiters like this:

lua << END
  ...
END

I hope this solves the issues.

thank you so much! That solved the errors, but I still can't invoke VBox. I saw the other issue that was resolved, my question is: where should I put:

vnoremap g :VBox

relative to the rest of the text copied from the readme

[jbyuki]

If you've just copy-pasted the config from the README, you should be able to invoke VBox using the key f. I'll repeat the usage steps just for convenience:

1. :set ve=all to freely move the cursor.
2. Select a box using <C-V> or Ctrl + V, then move the cursor to make a box
3. Press f, this should draw the box.

You can always change the keybindings to your liking, by modying the nvim_buf_set_keymap call arguments.

Sorry, I wasn't really clear on my last instructions, but if it works, great!
