Unable to re-bind some keys in vi mode

[harris-chris]

Hello all

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to, as the title suggests, override the vi key bindings. Currently my config looks like this:

      (in-package #:nyxt-user)

      (defvar *my-keyscheme-map*
        (define-keyscheme-map "my-base" ()
          nyxt/keyscheme:vi-normal
          (list
            "g b" (lambda-command switch-buffer*
                      nil
                    (switch-buffer :current-is-last-p
                                   t))
            "h" 'switch-buffer-previous
            "l" 'switch-buffer-next
            )))

      (define-configuration base-mode
        ((keyscheme-map *my-keyscheme-map*)))

      (define-configuration nyxt/mode/vi:vi-normal-mode
        ((keyscheme-map *my-keyscheme-map*)))

      (define-configuration web-buffer
         (default-modes (append '(nyxt/mode/vi:vi-normal-mode) %slot-default%))))

So I'm:

• defining a new keymap, based on vi-normal
• using it in base-mode
• also overriding vi-normal-mode with it
• then trying to use vi-normal-mode, and thus my new keymap, in web-buffer.

And this is half-working. Binding g b to open new buffer works fine. But binding h and l to the two switch-buffers, has no effect at all.
