Original author: justinmk

Prerequisites

I have searched existing issues
I have updated to the latest version

Neovim version

NVIM v0.13.0-dev-353+gd40875a2f844

Operating system

macos

Description

mappings get defined in unwanted situations.

e.g. the ct mapping is definitely not wanted in a normal buffer, but sometimes shows up and breaks ct.

the quasi-standard ]c mappings (builtin, also used by fugitive and/or the stock vim/nvim diff mode) sometimes gets clobbered.

note: I often go in and out of vim-fugitive diff-mode and will close windows as needed. But it's customary to clean up with diff-mode plugins when the diff counterpart is closed. (But even if diff-mode, for the editable buffer, ct should not be defined, since that conflicts with a fundamental builtin.)

Steps to reproduce

(I don't have minimal repro yet but will update here later.)

Health check

diffs.nvim ~
- ✅ OK Neovim 0.9.0+ detected
- ✅ OK vim-fugitive detected
- libvscode_diff not found (optional, using native vim.diff fallback)

Minimal reproduction

todo

looking at this now, ty. idk much about builtin mappings so i'm not surprised that i let this slip thru the cracks.
