How to open command line but not execute about which-key.nvim

[folke]

We default to silent=true, but you don;t want that for this keybinding, so set it to false.

i = {":GrepperGit<space>", "Search for something in Git files", silent=false}

Under the hood, we're just calling vim.api.nvim_set_keymap to set up the keymaps. Not sure what the exact syntax should be for this.

:call nvim_set_keymap('n', '<leader>oo', ':GrepperRg ', {}) works, so this is a problem of which-key it seems

[cideM]

Makes sense, works!

I've had a related issue for soooo long and I can't believe I didn't think about this before.

I had my own helper map function that also defaults silent = true, and that made it so that any mappings I made with it or with register never updated the command line until I made some other edit. I had been suffering under this for weeks.

And to think it was just a matter of adding silent = false to those mappings. 🤦

I'm only commenting here in case someone else made this mistake and to help others if they are searching for this issue.

I had bindings like this:

-- Type "%%" in command line to quickly insert current filename.
-- E.g.
--   :!mv %% $$new_name.txt
-- becomes
--   :!mv path/to/file.txt path/to/new_name.txt
--
map("c", "%%", "<C-R>=expand('%')<cr>", { silent = false }) -- Full path
map("c", "$$", "<C-R>=expand('%:h').'/'<cr>", { silent = false }) -- Dirname
map("c", "^^", "<C-R>=expand('%:t')<cr>", { silent = false }) -- Basename

-- Hide from which key
wk.register({
  ["%%"] = "which_key_ignore",
  ["$$"] = "which_key_ignore",
  ["^^"] = "which_key_ignore",
}, {
  mode = "c",
})

Thank you, everyone!
