Problem description

Some how binding CTRL+R gets overwritten when the plugin is loaded, but this is not mentioned in the readme (?).

This is especially the case when first loading the z-shell/zsh-navigation-tools

Reproduction steps

1. Use antidote and load first this plugin then immediately after the z-shell/zsh-navigation-tools.
2. CTRL+R should open up the n-history widget. But instead the normal history bck-i-search is done.

Expected behavior

CTRL+R is not overwritten or reset?

Of course the behavior can be disabled with local ZVM_INIT_MODE=sourcing when first loading this plugin.
I am just confused why this overwrite happens?

Hi @gabyx,

Thanks for your issue, I think your problem is similar to #15 as the reason mentioned in README. You can load your specific plugin after zsh-vi-mode is initialized aspect as below.

function zvm_after_init() {
   source "<your_plugin_folder>/zsh-navigation-tools.plugin.zsh"
}

or

function zvm_after_init() {
   zvm_bindkey viins '^R' znt-history-widget
}

Thanks & Regards

I have a similar issue, I was using fzf plugin for the nice history search widget, after installed zvm, I find that when I do Ctrl+R in normal mode, it gives me fzf as before, but in insert mode, it gives me the primitive bck-i-search: prompt.

For integration with fzf history search, this worked for me:

function zvm_after_init() {
  zvm_bindkey viins "^R" fzf-history-widget
}
