Key Remapping crashes helix v0.5.0

[PhilipK]

Reproduction steps

1. Copy the key remapping found here https://docs.helix-editor.com/remapping.html#key-remapping
2. Add it to ~/.config/helix/config.toml
3. Run helix

Helix crashes with the following message:
Error: data did not match any variant of untagged enum KeyTrie for key keys.normal at line 11 column 1

Environment

• Platform: Linux
• Helix version: 0.5.0

[PhilipK]

It seems this problem happens any time [keys.normal] or [insert] is added to the config

[PhilipK]

This seems to have been solved in helix v0.5.0-257-g02fc52f when i build from master key remapping is possible

[sudormrfbin]

The docs are built from master and not the latest tagged release, hence the error.

[PhilipK]

The only difference between
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/v0.5.0/book/src/remapping.md

and

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/book/src/remapping.md

Is the added ctrl+s to save.
If i use the configuration from 0.5.0 the problem is still there.

[sudormrfbin]

I think you missed "ret" = ["open_below", "normal_mode"] which allows executing multiple commands, added after 0.5.

[PhilipK]

Still a problem on 0.5.0.
Here is some more information.
Here is what i did on an (almost) clean install of Arch Linux

1. Use yay -S helix to download helix-0.5.0-1
2. run helix and it starts no problem
3. Verify that helix is version 0.5.0 with -V argument
4. create a config.toml at ~/.config/helix/config.toml
5. Write the following to config.toml

[keys.normal]
C-s = ":w"
"ret" = ["open_below", "normal_mode"]

6. Run helix again, and get the following error

Error: data did not match any variant of untagged enum KeyTrie for key `keys.normal` at line 2 column 1

7. Edit the config.tomlto

[keys.normal]
"ret" = ["open_below", "normal_mode"]

8. Run helix again, and get the same error

[archseer]

Yeah, "ret" = ["open_below", "normal_mode"] won't work on 0.5.0 but it will work on the latest master since this feature (#589) was implemented after 0.5.0 was released.

[PhilipK]

This works:

[keys.normal]
a = "move_char_left"

so does this:

[keys.normal]
C-s = "move_char_left"

but this:

[keys.normal]
s = ":w"

and this:

[keys.normal]
s = ":write"

and this:

[keys.normal]
s = ":q"

Does not work. It seems to be related to keymapping a command

[archseer]

Yes, that's another feature that landed after 0.5. Mapping sequences of commands and and :commands is only possible on master until a new release comes out.
