Doesn't work.

[idelice]

I installed plugins: IdeaVim and Which-Key through Intellij.

I added 'set which-key' inside .ideavimrc in my home dir.

I sourced .ideavimrc.

Nothing happens when pressing space.

I would need some more information about your setup to check for any issues:
Intellij version, IdeaVim version, WhichKey version and your .ideavimrc configuration

ideavim + whichkey latest from todays date. and .ideavimrc contains only that config from your doc "set which-key" or something like that.

Please share your full .ideavimrc with me. In most cases this is a configuration problem, a typo or something similar (even though it does not contain a lot).

From your system setup I don't see any reason why the plugin should not work 🤔

@Delice0 is this issue still present? If so please share your .ideavimrc so I can investigate.
Otherwise I would close this issue

So I got a notification about a new comment here, which for some reason is not visible anymore:

Having the same issue.
Tested it on windows and linux systems, and using different JBR runtimes. When I uninstall the plugin I get some logs that state that which-key is an unknown command in my .ideavimrc. However after installing the plugin It appears as if which-key was a noop. No logs, pressing space just moves the cursor.

My .ideavimrc:

set which-key

However I wanted to address this anyway since its the same issue as @Delice0 and I think I now finally understand what the issue is here 😅

It seems like there is a discrepancy for new users about what which-key is actually doing and what it is not. So for everybody in this issue and everybody finding this let me explain:

The plugin which-key is only there to showcase the VIM mappings that you have configured yourself (in your .ideavimrc) in a popup window. It does not set any keybindings itself. The GIF in the README is an example of how it can look in case you have a lot of mappings defined (the example uses the wonderful intellimacs project). It seems to me that this is a common misunderstanding (see #46), so I will adapt the README to make this distinction more clear.

For those wondering why they see no popup, add a few key mappings to your .ideavimrc and try again:

set which-key

nnoremap <Space>wv :vertical splitv<CR>
nnoremap <Space>ws :split<CR>
nnoremap <Space>wd :close<CR>

Now pressing <Space> and <Space>w should show a popup with all the above mappings

I hope this helps 🙂

Thanks! Yeah, my bad, I did assume that an empty popup would come up if I had no keybinds set. Now this works!

@Delice0 then check my previous comment #44 (comment) for an explanation
