Lazy Loading Unkeyed Question

[suasuasuasuasua]

Hi, this may be a silly question, but how do you know what __unkeyed-X is? I'm thinking that it is just positional arguments to some function right -- hence unkeyed?

For example, I'm looking at the telescope lazyLoading options (https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim/plugins/telescope/lazyLoad.html#pluginstelescopelazyloadsettings), and the example for Neotest has __unkeyed-1 and __unkeyed-3. Is there a __unkeyed-2 and what is it? Is there an easy way to find out

Hi there! Let me explain how the __unkeyed-X notation works in nixvim configurations.

What they actually do

When you use __unkeyed-X in your nixvim configuration:

• The X in __unkeyed-X is used to sort the elements in the resulting Lua array
• The elements are ordered numerically according to these numbers
• There are no gaps in the final Lua table - if you use __unkeyed-1 and __unkeyed-4, you'll get a 2-element table

Examples to demonstrate

Looking at some examples:

{ __unkeyed-1 = "a"; __unkeyed-3 = 5; foo = "bar"; }
# Result: { "a", 5, foo = "bar" }

{ __unkeyed-1 = "a"; __unkeyed-3 = 5; foo = "bar"; __unkeyed-2 = 1; }
# Result: { "a", 1, 5, foo = "bar" }

For the example in lazyLoad.settings

{
  cmd = "Neotest";
  keys = [
    {
      __unkeyed-1 = "<leader>nt";
      __unkeyed-3 = "<CMD>Neotest summary<CR>";
      desc = "Summary toggle";
    }
  ];
}

This creates a Lua table with:

• "<leader>nt" as the first table element
• "<CMD>Neotest summary<CR>" as the second table element (even though it's __unkeyed-3)
• A named key desc with value "Summary toggle"

The resulting Lua would be:

{
  cmd = "Neotest",
  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>nt",
      "<CMD>Neotest summary<CR>",
      desc = "Summary toggle"
    }
  }
}

Hope this clarifies how the __unkeyed-X notation works!

Gotcha that makes total sense! Thanks for the help
