Keymap submode

[drowning-cat]

Is there any chance of implementing something like this in the future?

Short Explanation

keymodes.mp4

A key combination triggers a submode that temporarily alters the behavior of keymaps until explicitly exited. This can be very useful for actions like resizing. For example, pressing <M-r> could enter a submode where hjkl resizes the window separator, and pressing q or <Esc> exits the submode.

Caveats

Submode should override buffer-local keymaps. This means that when a new window is created, keymaps should be dynamically applied to it.

To be honest, I don’t expect this feature to become widely popular or a perfect fit for the mini-ecosystem. However, I hope you’ll at least consider adding or implementing it, as this repository is very well maintained and this feature could fill a gap for other plugins, such as https://github.com/mrjones2014/smart-splits.nvim.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This feature is already present in 'mini.nvim' via special configs of 'mini.clue'. Here is a relevant part of help. It is not exactly one-to-one to Hydra, but it gets the job done within the design of already present module.

There also might be small improvements in the area. Se #1722.

Closing as already possible with 'mini.clue'.

Oh, thank you very much. I didn't know.
