Not picking up j/k repeating when using LazyVim distro

[JamesMowery]

Repeated h/j key presses are not being picked up when using LazyVim. Any advice on how to resolve?

[JamesMowery]

I was able to resolve by doing the following in my hardtime.lua plugin (per issue with another distro):

return {
  "m4xshen/hardtime.nvim",
  command = "Hardtime",
  event = "BufEnter",
  dependencies = {
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
  },
  keys = {
    { "j", 'v:count || mode(1)[0:1] == "no" ? "j" : "gj"' },
    { "k", 'v:count || mode(1)[0:1] == "no" ? "k" : "gk"' },
  },
  opts = {},
}

Are there any other change to LazyVim I need to make to ensure no conflicts with this issue and potentially any others?

[JamesMowery]

Update: The above change actually did not resolve the issue. Getting the following issue with the command box popping up on LazyVim when using j and k in a file now. Very strange.

v:count || mode(1)[0:1] == "no" ? "j" : "gj"

This kind of mapping only work for Vim-style mapping when using :map. For Lua you should convert this into a function.

Example:

vim.keymap.set({ "n", "x" }, "j", function()
   return vim.v.count > 0 and "j" or "gj"
end, { noremap = true, expr = true })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "x" }, "k", function()
   return vim.v.count > 0 and "k" or "gk"
end, { noremap = true, expr = true })

For someone coming to this later on, this works without problem -

{
    'm4xshen/hardtime.nvim',
    dependencies = { 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim', 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim' },
    opts = {},
    command = 'Hardtime',
    event = 'BufEnter',
    keys = {
        { 'n', 'j',  '<cmd>Hardtime<CR>', desc = "Hardtime" },
        { 'n', 'k',  '<cmd>Hardtime<CR>', desc = "Hardtime" },
        { 'n', 'gj', '<cmd>Hardtime<CR>', desc = "Hardtime" },
        { 'n', 'gk', '<cmd>Hardtime<CR>', desc = "Hardtime" },
    },
},

@spa5k I this actually maps the "n" key to gk. You're fix worked for me until I searched for something and pressed n to cycle through the occurrences, but instead my cursor was just moving up the screen. It did fix j and k not working though, but I don't think it fixed it for the reason we thought it would and since n is now broken I don't think its an ideal fix.

I've got this in my config:

return {
  {
    "m4xshen/hardtime.nvim",
    dependencies = { "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim" },
    opts = {},
    command = "Hardtime",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    keys = {
      {
        "j",
        function()
          return vim.v.count > 0 and "j" or "gj"
        end,
        mode = { "n", "x" },
      },
      {
        "k",
        function()
          return vim.v.count > 0 and "k" or "gk"
        end,
        mode = { "n", "x" },
      },
    },
  },
}

However this only seems to work after I open a second file. Upon running nvim some/file the plugin doesn't work and the j and k keys are unresponsive. After opening a second file it all works as expected. Any suggestions @m4xshen?

[jyeharry]

This is my fix:

return {
  {
    "m4xshen/hardtime.nvim",
    dependencies = { "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim" },
    opts = {},
    keys = {
      {
        "j",
        function()
          vim.cmd("Hardtime enable")
          return vim.v.count > 0 and "j" or "gj"
        end,
        mode = { "n", "x" },
      },
      {
        "k",
        function()
          vim.cmd("Hardtime enable")
          return vim.v.count > 0 and "k" or "gk"
        end,
        mode = { "n", "x" },
      },
    },
  },
}

The first press of j or k doesn't do anything, after that they work as normal until blocked by hardtime. I feel like there should be a simpler fix though. Unfortunately I'm not super familiar with exactly how to setup plugins the lazy.nvim way and since this works I'm just gonna stick with it for now.

This solution works. It's pretty much the same solution originally provided by @JamesMowery however it may be because this solution has lazy = false in it.
