[Doom] C-h and SPC h are different prefixes

[gagbo]

Hello,

I'm pretty sure it's been answered somehow already, but I didn't find any definitive, short, to the point, undisputed source of information for this. The closest is probably #242, but I'm not really sure.

My main problem is that, using Doom, SPC h and C-h lead to different things.

C-h

SPC h

Is there any documentation that explains why it is different and what I should do to fix this ? I thought, from reading the doc, that keypad would be a "raw" key translation scheme

All "keypad" doc says on github is that "hitting SPC h is like hitting C-h", which is like having a dead-end, since I don't know where I can find more information. I know emacs keymap resolution can be a mess most of the time (I made very specific evil-collection hooks for non standard keyboard layouts), I'd just like to know if there's something I can do to fix the matter.

For the record, Doom maps key to help-map there

All my config is here if necessary, but I don't think I'm doing anything fancy really.

Thanks for the package and the work that's been put up until here,
Gerry

I could only partially reproduce what the images show: SPC h seems to replace all group names with +prefix, but the list is otherwise identical.

The following was taken on a vanilla doom with the latest doom-meow and the "recommended" configuration (meow-edit/doom-meow@5fb355b)

C-h (works fine)

SPC h (all the purple entries became +prefix)

I also tried shrinking the window to get multiple pages (as seen on your screenshots) with the same results

C-c vs SPC c is more drastic and matches more of what you've described:

C-c

SPC c

The differences:

• SPC is gone (reasonable, as it's a different thing on Keypad mode)
• M-g - magit-file-dispatch became [ g
• C-f - fold is gone, and is being mapped to forward-char instead (and moves the cursor forward if you invoke it!)

Are you using the "+leader" flag of the module ? It adds a lot of things I'm not sure I want, and at least until I have a rough idea of how mappings work, I'd rather start from a closer to bare emacs step, because when I break something I want to be able to at least reason about what's wrong

Got my answer there : #226 (comment)

I need to press SPC again in order to make appear the "classic" keymaps. The crux is that even if which-key shows a bare d, hitting it really means C-d, so it shows this option instead.
