I've briefly looked at the code and I think the docs are wrong.

Does

["<esc>"] = { actions.close, kind = "action", opts = { silent = true, nowait = true } }, -- error when trying to press escape

work as intended for you?

[zubrailx]

This

["<esc>"] = { actions.close, type = "action", opts = { silent = true, nowait = true } }, -- error when trying to press escape

works fine, thank you for the response. Should it be mentioned in the documentation?

[Conni2461]

yes, do mind posting a PR that updates the documentation? should be updated here:

telescope.nvim/lua/telescope/mappings.lua
