Keybindings don't work with Doom Emacs/Evil mode #11

Open j-steinbach opened 3 years ago

j-steinbach commented 3 years ago

I am using the "default" elfeed-dashboard.org file.

It comes with some keybindings declared in the org-file.

  #+STARTUP: showall showstars indent
  #+KEYMAP: u | elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread"
  #+KEYMAP: e | elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread +emacs"
  #+KEYMAP: b | elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread +blogs"
  #+KEYMAP: m | elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread +monitoring"
  #+KEYMAP: v | elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread +video"
  #+KEYMAP: n | elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread +news"
  #+KEYMAP: s | elfeed
  #+KEYMAP: g | elfeed-dashboard-update-links
  #+KEYMAP: U | elfeed-dashboard-update
  #+KEYMAP: E | elfeed-dashboard-edit
  #+KEYMAP: q | kill-current-buffer

None of these work for me.

But when I enable the evil-emacs-state (C-z), it magically works again.

I tried to re-bind the keys

(after! elfeed-dashboard
  (evil-define-key 'normal elfeed-dashboard-mode-map
    "q" 'kill-current-buffer
    ;; "s" 'elfeed
    ;; "U" 'elfeed-dashboard-update
    ;; "u" 'elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread"
...

but don't know how to add the query parameters.

A look into elfeed-dashboard.el shows me that there is some black magic happening in the function elfeed-dashboard-parse-keymap. Apparently it reads the keybindings defined locally in the .org file and then applies them? So my re-binding approach likely won't work.

How do I get the key-binds to work in Doom Emacs?

Small interim solution to define a query in the config.el

"u" (lambda () (interactive) (elfeed-dashboard-query "+unread"))

This works, but when I exit the *elfeedsearch* buffer (q) I get the error rss workspace doesn't exist and it puts me in the emacs dashboard, whereas I expect to be returned to the elfeed dashboard.

another solution would be to set the initial state to emacs

    (evil-set-initial-state 'elfeed-dashboard-mode 'emacs)

I use use-package so I added it after :config

This happens as some doom-specific autoloads (+rss/delete-pane) expect the rss workspace to exist, which is created when you invoke elfeed with =rss (which calls (elfeed) internally).

Also, any progress in getting the keybinds to work?
