Clarify proper usage with cmdheight=0

[prescientmoon]

It looks like the hydra suggested keybinds print :VBox to the cmd line even when silent = true, which make the statusline flicker when cmdheight=0. I cannot figure out how to use :silent with a visual mode command, so it would be nice if the readme suggested a way to fix issues like these. It would be nice if there was a documented way to call VBox directly from lua, for example, without going through the cmdline mechanism.

This is more related to how hydra handles keybindings. Although I know that the maintenainer is currently not very active so it would be hard to get answers there. How about setting the keybinding manually?

vim.keymap.set('v', '<leader>g', ':VBox<cr>', {silent = true})

or using vimscript

vnoremap <silent> <leader>g :VBox<CR>

Also make sure to have the latest nightly version for these features as they are in active development.

@jbyuki You are right, setting the keymap using vim.keymap.set does not make the cmdline flicker, although I would expect setting silent = true to have the same effect in hydra (it does not).

I've seen a new hydra.nvim fork scrolling in my feed: https://github.com/nvimtools/hydra.nvim . Maybe they could help you there on that subject as I don't use hydra myself.

Never mind, the issue still occurs with the vim keybind:

Related to the status line plugin? It doesn't flicker for me.
