Add `'("<SPC>" . meow-M-x)` to `meow-leader-define`?

[otfrom]

I've had to add '("<SPC>" . meow-M-x) to meow-leader-define get the old M-x behaviour that I remembered. I've also needed to add (setq meow-keypad-leader-dispatch "C-c") as per other issues to get C-c working under as well.

Is there a bit of config I don't understand now?

[DogLooksGood]

Hi, can you elaborate more about the question? What you want to achieve?

[otfrom]

with this config:

   '("<escape>" . ignore))

   '("<escape>" . ignore)))
(require 'meow)
(meow-setup)
(meow-global-mode 1)

When I start emacs and hit <SPC>-? I get the error ? is undefined and nothing happens

C-c ? takes me to the cheatsheet.

I'm running emacs 29.4 on nixos and the package timestamp is "emacs-meow-20241201.1935"

<SPC>-<SPC> does nothing, but I'd expect it to be the same as hitting M-x

The config above is copied from GETTING_STARTED.org and KEYBINDING_QWERTY.org

I have nothing else in the config

<SPC>-x prefix commands seem to work

<SPC>-c ? does take me to the cheatsheet

This is all in normal mode

[DogLooksGood]

We had a refactor on keypad which introduced some bugs, and some of them have been fixed. Please update to the latest version if it's fixed.

[ifinkelstein]

Same issue, using <SPC> no longer works as previously in keypad. I'm on:

;; Package-Version: 20241204.1943
;; Package-Revision: 49bfe255e326

I solved this by pinning meow to melpa-stable in my use-package declaration. The pinned version works without problems.

;; Package-Version: 1.5.0
;; Package-Revision: ebf7ebb5eb3a

[DogLooksGood]

Weird, I just tried with this config, and it works.

[ifinkelstein]

Thank you for this package, and for debugging the issue.

OP and I didn't need this in our prior configs, I think:

   '("SPC" . meow-M-x) ;; <- copied from the OP's config with this line added

Happy to include in my config moving forward, but the keypad refactoring definitely changed earlier behavior.

[DogLooksGood]

Maybe I haven't understood the question yet.

[eki3z]

Same problem, (setq meow-keypad-leader-dispatch "C-c") to keep old behavior.

[otfrom]

Tried the new version. Adding '("SPC" . meow-M-x) seems to fix the problem

Adding (setq meow-keypad-leader-dispatch "C-c") gave me some problems with the C-x keymaps.

My new QWERTY config looks like this:

;; I’m finding that ESC isn’t doing what I want in terminals.
(define-key meow-keymap (kbd "<f12>") 'meow-insert-exit)

I'm finding that <SPC><SPC> is acting as M-x and that my prefix keys are working again.

If this is the correct config then I think GET_STARTED.org and KEYBINDING_QWERTY.org should probably change to reflect this. (I presume the other KEYBINDING pages as well, but I've not used/tested those configs)

[DogLooksGood]

We don't have SPC SPC to M-x by default as far as I can remember.
