Issues with `mini.clue` and `mini.animate`

[farzadmf]

Describe the issue:

I'm having issues/conflicts using vim-visual-multi and mini.clue together. For example, if I multi-select using vim-visual-multi and press c, mini.clue doesn't pick up vim-visual-multi's binding to do change and instead show its window, which in turn unselects everything I've selected.

I opened #222 a while back (a similar issue I had with which-key, and you were kind enough to fix it on the which-key side). I had the discussion on the mini.clue side in echasnovski/mini.nvim#430 (this comment and this reply). This one also mentions some candidates for fixes in the code.

I LOVE your plugin SO MUCH that I even gave up on using mini.clue, but thought maybe it's worth a try to ask for help from you so that I can use mini.clue.

---

On the note of asking for help, I also opened echasnovski/mini.nvim#448 where the animation created by mini.animate would interfere with vim-visual-multi. The workaround mentioned there didn't work, so I was hoping if you might have an idea about it. This comment from me tries to make the workaround work, but no luck ... and even if it works, it's super hacky and causes other issues.

I'm hoping to receive some help from you so that I can "safely" use all the plugins together

As my request is mostly a general request, I didn't include any information about versions, config, etc. Please let me know if they're required.

Similarly to the which-key plugin, when a plugin interferes with mappings, it should be able to handle corner cases. The problem I see there, is that c in VM (and also other keys) use the nowait modifier. That plugin should be able to handle non-standard behaviours from mappings, if it wants to be compatible with the plugins it is supposed to display informations for. In this case it should check if a mapping has the nowait modifier, before showing anything.
