bug: Leader key does not work on first editor open

[rrojan]

Did you read the documentation and check existing issues?

• I have read all the :help neominimap documentation
• I have updated the plugin to the latest version before submitting this issue
• I have searched the existing issues and closed issues issues

Neovim version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.10.1 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068

Operating system/version

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Describe the bug

When i open my editor for the first time, space refuses to work as a leader key. Instead it works as the default space (go one char next) in vim.

I know that neominimap might be responsible for this since if i disable it it starts working like normal again.

Screencast.from.2025-01-01.07-47-36.webm

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open neovim
2. Open a code file from neotree or telescope
3. Press space expecting it to act as leader key
4. Instead it doesn't trigger leader

Note that opening md files does not trigger this behavior

Expected Behavior

Space should act as a leader key right away!

I’m having trouble reproducing this issue. Could you please share a minimal version of the configuration? It seems like Lazy or other plugin might be the culprit here. Neovminimap doesn’t seem to be doing anything about keymaping.

[MartenBE]

I am having the same issue: space is leader, first toggle <space>tm doesn't work. Second and following toggles work fine.

Edit: auto_enable also doesn't seem to work as the minimap is not opened automatically when opening a file.

@MartenBE Does adding lazy = false to your configuration solve your problem?

[Isrothy]

Hey @rrojan, I copied your dotfiles to my machine, but I can’t seem to reproduce this issue.

@MartenBE Does adding lazy = false to your configuration solve your problem?

This automatically opens a split buffer at start, which is also not ideal unfortunately.
