Can't remap meow-keypad-ctrl-meta-prefix #79

Closed krdzo closed 2 years ago

krdzo commented 2 years ago

Hi. Trying out meow and couldn't change prefix for C-M-. I tried it even on stock emacs only with straight.el and use-pakcage installed. This is my configuration:

(use-package meow
  :config
  (setq meow-keypad-ctrl-meta-prefix ?a)
  (meow-setup)
  (meow-global-mode 1))

meow-setup function is copied from default qwerty setup

Hi, It's required to bind a in leader keymap as meow-keypad-start.

(setq meow-keypad-ctrl-meta-prefix ?a)
(meow-leader-define-key
 '("a" . meow-keypad-start)
 ...)

If you use a for C-M-, Keybindings like C-x C-a become not accessible.

m is used, because C-m is RET, so there's no C-m. g is used, because C-g is keyboard-quit, so there's no C-g.

How about i, for C-i is TAB.

Aha. Thanks for the explanation. Didn't occur to me to bind it in the meow-leader-keymap I thought that only changing meow-keypad-ctrl-meta-prefix variable was enough. Maybe add a note about that here or somewhere else in the documentation.

I will think about this. The a was just a example because I didn't think it thru enough, just wanted for g not to be occupied but after reading why you bound g as C-M- I will probably move my SPC g binging somewhere else and leave the default binding be.

P.S. Is it appropriate to write here for questions that are not specifically issue related? For example I would like to disable, or just show less items, of the numbers overlay when meow-[next|back]-word is invoked but can't find a way to do it. I have many such small questions/feature ideas but don't want to flood the issue tracker with them if that is a problem.

Yes, I think here is the good place for questions.

Currently, there's no way to disable numbers overly for meow-[next|back]-word. Consider it a feature, I can add one.

Feature added as #80
