Bug: Adding zsh-vi-mode causes nav keys (Home, End, PgUp and PgDn ) to break

[deafmute1]

Hi, this issue occurred today after updating all my plugins. I narrowed it down to zsh-vi-mode by turning plugins on/off until reproducing.

Basically: Home, End, PgUp and PgDn emit the incorrect scan codes according to both terminfo and showkey --scancode after sourcing zsh-vi-mode . Also, multiple keys have the same code - Home and End are both [, while PgUp and PgDn are both [~ .

Hi, Home and End keys are not working for me. Neither in insert, nor in normal mode. Any ideas how to debug?

[jeffreytse]

Hi @fdietze

Could you give me some more instructions on your issue? Such as your .zshrc, what plugin was corrupted and so on.

Thanks and regards

[fdietze]

I just stripped my .zshrc down to:

source "${HOME}/.zgen/zgen.zsh"
if ! zgen saved; then
    echo "creating zgen save..."

    zgen load jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode

    zgen save
fi

alacritty 0.8.0
zsh 5.8
nixos

@fdietze For this, what plugin keybindings on the Home and End do not work? In other words, what hehavior do you expect?

[fdietze]

I expected Home to do the same as 0 in normal and insert mode and End the same as $. Do I have to map them manually?

Thank you

@jeffreytse I'm having the same issue. By default, Manjaro registers the keys as below, which works fine except when I source this plugin. Do I need to set a separate keybinding for this plugin? if so which

## Keybindings section
bindkey -e
bindkey '^[[7~' beginning-of-line                               # Home key
bindkey '^[[H' beginning-of-line                                # Home key
if [[ "${terminfo[khome]}" != "" ]]; then
  bindkey "${terminfo[khome]}" beginning-of-line                # [Home] - Go to beginning of line
fi
bindkey '^[[8~' end-of-line                                     # End key
bindkey '^[[F' end-of-line                                     # End key
if [[ "${terminfo[kend]}" != "" ]]; then
  bindkey "${terminfo[kend]}" end-of-line                       # [End] - Go to end of line
fi

Hi @Davincible @fdietze

Thanks for the information, I will try to dig up this issue and fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks and regards

Hi @fdietze

For the default vi keybindings (i.e. bindkey -v) without this plugin, the behaviors of Home and End aren't going to the beginning/end of line. Are them bound by yourself or other plugins?

Thanks and regards

[fdietze]

@jeffreytse

That's correct, the default zsh vi mode does not map Home/End. But the bash vi mode and vim support it by default.

I thought that it would make sense to map these keys by default. Something like:

bindkey -M viins "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey -M viins  "^[[F" end-of-line
bindkey -M vicmd "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey -M vicmd "^[[F" end-of-line
bindkey -M visual "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey -M visual "^[[F" end-of-line

What do you think?

[Davincible]

Can confirm, also managed to do it like that, my key codes were just different with. Might be nice to have those as default key bindings though

[jeffreytse]

Hi @fdietze @Davincible

So sorry for the late following up, I have been busy recently, thanks for your suggestions. I will take a consideration for adding them to default keybindings. Before that you can easily fulfill these keybindings by adding manually with zvm_after_init function, here is the related document for you guys. Have a good day! : )

Thanks and regards
