Thank you very much for the information I wanted to test it but I was unable to find this info, would be possible to add some sort of guidelines on how to submit plugins?

[Mandarancio]

well... lpm on my arch does not have the flag --ephemeral and if I try with --repository it fail with attempt to index a nil value

@Guldoman I will update the plugin configuration using the tips you gave me on the keyhud (using config.plugins and common.merge)

Yeah would be a good idea to add it to the README.

How did you install lpm? Is there any error when you use --ephemeral?

I checked my install and I saw that I was using a old (1.0.x) version of lpm, I updated it and now it works!

I really like the look of this! I'm going to test this now.

[adamharrison]

If I test this, should I use the most recent commit on your repository?

OK, couple things as I go through this.

1. You should probably set keymaps to a table; your examples in your README fail with attempt to index a nil value (field 'keymaps') if you try and paste them into your user config; you need to first initialize keymaps to a table.
2. If you don't specify a keymap for a modal, you get an error in general trying to press any key; should probably default to an empty keymap.
3. I'd suggest throwing in a full example config that can be just copy and pasted into your user config to allow for easy testing.
4. on_key_passtrought should be on_key_passthrough

But other than that, I love this. I tested the master branch of the repository. Let me know if that's the commit you'd prefer to pin, and I'll pin that one, and merge this. (And I'll probably write a modal-vim plugin which uses this with a prefab config that replicate vim).
