snacks_explorer keymap overriding mini-files keymap

[higoswami]

Hi,
I've configured snacks_explorer using this config :

return {
    "folke/snacks.nvim",
    opts = {
        -- scroll is configured with animate
        animate = {
            fps = 30,
        },
        -- scroll = { enabled = false },
        picker = {
            sources = {
                explorer = {
                    layout = {
                        layout = {
                            position = "right",
                            width = 50,
                        },
                    },
                },
            },
        },
    },
    keys = {
        { "<leader>e", false }, -- Use <leader>fe
        { "<leader>E", false }, -- Use <leader>fE
    },
}

You can see in config that i've disabled <leader>e and <leader>E because i use them with mini-files.nvim

But somehow these keymaps are overwritten by snacks_explorer in a weird way

This is my mini-files.lua

return {
    -- Use g? to show help
    "echasnovski/mini.files",
    version = false,
    opts = {
        windows = {
            preview = false, -- default is false
            width_preview = 30,
        },
        options = {
            -- To get trash directory, run :echo stdpath('data')
            -- Your files/directories will be available in mini.files directory in there
            permanent_delete = false,
        },
    },
    keys = {
        {
            "<leader>e",
            function()
                require("mini.files").open(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0), true)
            end,
            desc = "Open mini.files (Directory of Current File)",
        },
        {
            "<leader>E",
            function()
                require("mini.files").open(vim.uv.cwd(), true)
            end,
            desc = "Open mini.files (cwd)",
        },
        {
            "<CR>",
            function()
                require("mini.files").go_in()
            end,
            desc = "Go in entry under cursor",
        },
    },

    config = function(_, opts)
        require("mini.files").setup(opts)

        -- **** Copy file Path *****
        local yank_absolute_path = function()
            local path = require("mini.files").get_fs_entry().path
            vim.fn.setreg("+", path)
            print(path)
        end

        -- **** Open file under cursor in split ****
        local map_split = function(buf_id, lhs, direction)
            local rhs = function()
                -- Make new window in split and set it as target
                local cur_target = require("mini.files").get_explorer_state().target_window
                local new_target = vim.api.nvim_win_call(cur_target, function()
                    vim.cmd(direction .. " split")
                    return vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
                end)

                require("mini.files").set_target_window(new_target)

                -- Now open the file under the cursor in that new target window
                require("mini.files").go_in()
            end

            -- Adding `desc` will result into `show_help` entries
            local desc = "Split " .. direction
            vim.keymap.set("n", lhs, rhs, { buffer = buf_id, desc = desc })
        end

        vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
            pattern = "MiniFilesBufferCreate",
            callback = function(args)
                local buf_id = args.data.buf_id

                -- Keymap for : copy absolute path
                -- You can use <Shift + y> to copy the file name
                vim.keymap.set(
                    "n",
                    "gy",
                    yank_absolute_path,
                    { buffer = args.data.buf_id, desc = "Copy absolute path of file" }
                )
                -- Open file in split
                map_split(buf_id, "gs", "belowright horizontal")
                map_split(buf_id, "gv", "belowright vertical")
            end,
        })
        --
    end,
}

How can i get the desired behavior of using <leader>e for mini-files ?

snacks does not set any keymaps, so you have those in your config somewhere.
Use :lua Snacks.picker.keymaps() to get more info.

I don't have anything like this in my config

Btw, I've imported snacks_explorer like this :

require("lazy").setup({
    spec = {
        -- add LazyVim and import its plugins
        { "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins" },
        -- import/override with your plugins
        { import = "plugins" },
        -- Added by Himanshu
        { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.coding.neogen" },
        { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.editor.snacks_explorer" },
    },

You are using LazyVim and you enabled the snacks.explorer extra.
Enabling that extra just sets those mappings, so just remove that?

[higoswami]

Yes, because i wanted to use <leader>fe and <leader>fE . So i thought i'll enable snacks.explorer and disable the extra keybinds using this :

  keys = {
        { "<leader>e", false }, -- Use <leader>fe
        { "<leader>E", false }, -- Use <leader>fE
    },

I got my solution but i want to know why these keys aren't disabled even though i've set them to false

[folke]

Because the order of your imports are wrong.

If you don't fully understand lazy, you really really really should just use LazyExtras.
It's the preferred method, since that will ensure the correct order of all imports and manage order of interdependencies between extras.

Either way, to fix it in your case:

• LazyVim should always be imported first
• Then all the extras. But here order matters as well, so if you don't use LazyExtras, you're on your own.
• Finally you import your personal plugins

oh ok, i got it
Thanks
