Remapping cursor movement keys

[johnstegeman]

I've read #1356 - it tells how to map a key to noop, but doesn't answer my question.

I'm using a Colemak keyboard layout, and as such, I use n,u,e,i for cursor movement left, up, down, right. I would like to map the same keys in neo-tree. When I try this:

window = { mappings = { ["e"] = "move_cursor_down", }, },

I end up with a warning:

Neo-tree WARN invalid mapping for e : nil

? is also broken, but strangely, the mapping does work. Is there any way to accomplish this?

I bet you already have nnoremap e j in your config.

If you ["e"] = "noop", in neo-tree config, the global mapping will be applied (or to be precise, neo-tree does nothing) and you should be good to go.

Note that for some keys, they are only assigned source-specific keybinds (like f in filesystem to do fuzzy search), so if that's the case, you'll need to "noop" on each source configs (config.filesystem.window.mappings) as well.

Oh boy - so simple... That was exactly what I needed, thank you!
