rebind `which-key-show-next/previous-page`

[ghost]

Hi and thank you for the package.

I want to change some of the default which-key key binds used to turn the pages.

In which-key.el they are set like so:

(defvar which-key-C-h-map
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
    (dolist (bind `(("\C-a" . which-key-abort)
                    ;;abbreviated...
                    ("n" . which-key-show-next-page-cycle)
                    ("p" . which-key-show-previous-page-cycle)
                    ;;abbreviated...
      (define-key map (car bind) (cdr bind)))
    map)
  "Keymap for C-h commands.")

when I do :

(define-key which-key-C-h-map (kbd "z") 'which-key-show-next-page-cycle)

I can turn the pages ok.

but when I want to use PgUp/PgDown and do :

(define-key which-key-C-h-map (kbd "<next>") 'which-key-show-next-page-cycle)

I get: which-key-C-h-dispatch: Wrong type argument: characterp, next

Why can't I use those two keys?

had to rewrite the issue because it was not very clear. hopefully better now.

Hello @justbur thanks for the quick fix. Binding to symbols work good!

Please take a look at the hint message displayed by which-key on following screenshots. When I use a "symbol bind" i am getting the hint n -> next-page instead of <next> -> next-page

This message is generated automatically using substitute-command-keys. If you have multiple bindings to the same command, it's just going to pick one of them. You can try unbinding n in which-key-C-h-map.
