Conflicts with leap.nvim

[xbladesub]

How can I remap surround to use some other character, not 's' ? I use leap plugin, seems like leap's bindings have "higher priority" and surround doesn't work at all because of 's'.

nvim-surround doesn't use s by default at all, see nvim-surround.config.keymaps for help with remapping (although I suspect this might be an issue with something else).

Sorry for meddling If it helps, I got this to work by using this configuration:

• Lazy

  -- Inside the return { "kylechui/nvim-surround" } statement
  opts = {
  keymaps = {
  normal = "ys",
  delete = "ds",
  visual = "S",
  visual_line = "gS",
  change = "cs",
  change_line = "cS",
  }
  }

• Packer

  -- In the after/plugin directory or inside the config = function() end block 
  require("nvim-surround").setup({
  keymaps = {
  normal = "ys",
  delete = "ds",
  visual = "S",
  visual_line = "gS",
  change = "cs",
  change_line = "cS",
  }
  })

  I use Lazy and leap.nvim / flit.nvim, and this still lets me jump with s / S / f / F / t T and surround things when I need to.

All of the keymaps you listed are default; you should be able to just call require("nvim-surround").setup().

One of the issues with leap.nvim, is that the s is also mapped in operator mode when using the default keymaps.

So cs initiates the leap functionality, which conflicts with surround default keymaps.

Same with ds.

Instead of using the default leap.nvim keymaps, you can do something like this:

vim.keymap.set({ "n" }, "S", "<Plug>(leap-backward-to)")
vim.keymap.set({ "n" }, "s", "<Plug>(leap-forward-to)")

vim.keymap.set({ "o", "x" }, "Z", "<Plug>(leap-backward-till)")
vim.keymap.set({ "o", "x" }, "z", "<Plug>(leap-forward-till)")

or override the change (cs) and delete (ds) surround keymaps

You could also use the mappings suggested by leap.nvim's author.
