Re: Mapping behavior in vim

Hi,

  I've installed git gutter for Vim, and I was hoping to get the navigation working. After a long conversation with ChatGPT, and no working solution, I was hoping to get some help from real vim users with mapping "bracket c" to navigate to the next hunk (using Vim 9.1 on WSL). This is what I tried in my ~/.vimrc

" GitGutter hunk navigation

"Failed attempt 1

nmap ]c <Plug>(GitGutterNextHunk)
nmap [c <Plug>(GitGutterPrevHunk)

AFAICT, the docs suggest this is correct: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter/blob/488c0555e47e2aabe273c635f7dd233e985311a6/doc/gitgutter.txt#L291. Indeed, the code still uses the mapping style that should make this work: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter/blob/488c0555e47e2aabe273c635f7dd233e985311a6/plugin/gitgutter.vim#L220.

So it might help if you describe how these failed.

You could also try

    nnoremap ]c <cmd>GitGutterNextHunk<enter>

and similar, since the user command works fine for you.
