Mapping <leader><leader> using lazy.nvim keys

[synic]

I'm having a little trouble mapping <leader><leader> using the keys directive. This does NOT work:

	{
		"Lokaltog/vim-easymotion",
		init = function()
			vim.g.EasyMotion_smartcase = true
		end,
		keys = {
			{ "<leader><leader>", "<plug>(easymotion-overwin-f)", desc = "jump to location", mode = "n" },
			{ "<leader><leader>", "<plug>(easymotion-bd-f)", desc = "jump to location", mode = "v" },
		},
	},

This DOES work, though it's not lazy loaded:

	{
		"Lokaltog/vim-easymotion",
		init = function()
			vim.g.EasyMotion_smartcase = true
		end,
		config = function()
			vim.keymap.set(
				"n",
				"<leader><leader>",
				"<plug>(easymotion-overwin-f)",
				{ desc = "jump to location", noremap = true }
			)
			vim.keymap.set(
				"v",
				"<leader><leader>",
				"<plug>(easymotion-bd-f)",
				{ desc = "jump to location", noremap = true }
			)
		end,
	},

and, finally, this DOES work and IS lazy loaded, but kinda janky:

	{
		"Lokaltog/vim-easymotion",
		init = function()
			vim.g.EasyMotion_smartcase = true
		end,
		keys = {
			{ "<leader><leader>", "<plug>(easymotion-overwin-f)", desc = "jump to location", mode = "n" },
			{ "<leader><leader>", "<plug>(easymotion-bd-f)", desc = "jump to location", mode = "v" },
		},
		config = function()
			vim.keymap.set(
				"n",
				"<leader><leader>",
				"<plug>(easymotion-overwin-f)",
				{ desc = "jump to location", noremap = true }
			)
			vim.keymap.set(
				"v",
				"<leader><leader>",
				"<plug>(easymotion-bd-f)",
				{ desc = "jump to location", noremap = true }
			)
		end,
	},

How can I make the first one work?

The problem might be the location where your mapleader is defined. See installation

A working minimal setup:

local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

local plugins = {
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  {
    "Lokaltog/vim-easymotion",
    init = function()
      vim.g.EasyMotion_smartcase = true
    end,
    keys = {
      { "<leader><leader>", "<plug>(easymotion-overwin-f)", desc = "jump to location", mode = "n" },
      { "<leader><leader>", "<plug>(easymotion-bd-f)", desc = "jump to location", mode = "v" },
    },
  },
}

vim.g.mapleader = " "
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")

Best regards!

Hello @synic,

That's strange.
I have minimal.lua in my neovim folder, alongside init.lua

nvim -u minimal.lua
restart nvim

1. Now, :Lazy shows that easymotion is not loaded.
2. Pressing space space, and :Lazy shows easymotion is loaded.

Can you confirm that in step 2 lazy.nvim still indicates easymotion as not loaded?

edit
step 1, :nmap <space:

n <Space><Space> * <Lua 5: ~/.config/nvim/.repro/plugins/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/handler/keys.lua:67> jump to location

step 2, nmap <space>:

<Space><Space> <Plug>(easymotion-prefix)

[synic]

oh, pressing <space><space> loads the plugin, but the plugin doesn't work. If I assign the keys manually in the config function like this, it does work:

			vim.keymap.set(
				"n",
				"<leader><leader>",
				"<plug>(easymotion-overwin-f)",
				{ desc = "jump to location", noremap = true }
			)
			vim.keymap.set(
				"v",
				"<leader><leader>",
				"<plug>(easymotion-bd-f)",
				{ desc = "jump to location", noremap = true }
			)

In the minimal config, when I press "space space j", easymotion activates.

I found this:

    init = function()
      vim.g.EasyMotion_smartcase = true
      vim.g.EasyMotion_do_mapping = false
    end,

Now, the keys work as expected.

Yup, that fixes it. Thank you so much, you definitely went above and beyond here. Thank you again!

You're welcome!
