Module not found error message on lazy.nvim

[ekkyarmandi]

Describe the issue:

The plugin works. But I get the module not found error on the lazy.nvim when I restart the nvim. That's weird.

I'm using AstroNvim and trying to install the plugin from the ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/plugins/user.lua. I'm new to Neovim and I want to bring back multi-edit just like what I usually did on VS Code.

Does any body know why? Thank you

I think I already solved the issue.

Just need to change the opts with config and an empty function. Like the code below:

return {
  {
    "mg979/vim-visual-multi",
    branch = "master",
    config = function() end,
    event = "User AstroFile",
  }
}

I'm trying to use this plugin inside Nv-chad and I can't for the love of god make it work and even see why it's not active. Only when I add config = function() end and lazy=false to the plugin config in lazy it started loading...

@T3sT3ro, I see it has been over 2 months but I am trying to do the same thing inside of Nv-Chad but i cant get the plugin to work/load. Did you ever figure this out?

@SpongeBobWillReignSupreme Try using the following configuration in your .config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua:

return {
  -- ...
  -- https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi
  {
    "mg979/vim-visual-multi",
    branch = "master",
    lazy = false,
    config = function() end,
  },

  -- ...
}

I still don't know what the heck is going on and how to configure it properly. I also noticed that invoking Ctrl+N (default action for opening NvTree) invokes... NvTree instead of visual-multi, but when I use CTRL+Up/Down to add cursor above/below, then from that moment on the Ctrl+N uses the action from visual-multi to add cursor at next word occurrence. I didn't configure my nvim properly yet, because due to the huge amounts of time it takes to bring it to a comfortable state I still mainly use an IDE...

Poor man's solution: choose a different key binding than Ctrl+N for visual-multi. Of course, it shouldn't be occupied already (which dramatically limits the options). I chose Ctrl + \ like so:

{
  "mg979/vim-visual-multi",
  branch = "master",
  enabled = true,
  lazy = false,
  config = function() end,
  init = function()
    vim.g.VM_maps = {
                    ["Find Under"] = "<C-\\>"
                }
  end,
},
