Is there a way to invoke commands provided by other plugins from vim plugin v6?

[basyura]

With earlier versions of inkdrop-vim, I could define the following in keymap.json and trigger a command provided by another plugin from a vim plugin keybinding:

{
    ".CodeMirror.vim-mode.normal-mode textarea": {
      "ctrl-n": "sidetoc:jump-next"
    }
}

With this setting, pressing ctrl-n triggered the sidetoc:jump-next command.

In inkdrop-vim v6, is there a way to invoke commands provided by other plugins, such as sidetoc:jump-next, from vim plugin keybindings?

If this is possible, could you please share the recommended way to configure it?

For example, a setting like this.

Vim.map("<C-n>", "sidetoc:jump-next");

Yeah it'd be nice to add an Ex command that lets you run an Inkdrop command like:

Vim.map("<C-n>", ":cmd sidetoc:jump-next<CR>");

atm, you have to define a custom ex command (See this)

It worked with the following logic.

function configureVimKeyBindings() {
  const Vim = inkdrop.packages.getLoadedPackage("vim").mainModule.Vim;
  function noremap(key, cmd) {
    const name = cmd.replace(":", "_").replace("-", "_");
    Vim.defineEx(name, name, function () {
      inkdrop.commands.dispatch(document.body, cmd);
    });
    Vim.noremap(key, ":" + name + "<CR>");
  }

  noremap("<C-n>", "sidetoc:jump-next");
  noremap("<C-p>", "sidetoc:jump-prev");
  noremap("<C-r>", "narrow-note:open");
  noremap("<C-o>", "core:navigate-back");
  noremap("<C-i>", "core:navigate-forward");

  Vim.noremap("<C-e>", "$");
  Vim.noremap("U", "<C-r>");
}

However, it seems that commands cannot be executed in preview mode.

[craftzdog]

so, you mean it doesn't have to be a normal-mode keymap but just a regular keybinding?

[basyura]

The issue has been resolved, so this can be closed.

I initially thought it was not possible to assign specific commands (such as sidetoc:jump-next) to normal-mode key mappings in the vim plugin. However, I found that this is possible using Vim.defineEx.

It would be convenient to define commands directly like Vim.map("<C-n>", "sidetoc:jump-next");, but since this can be simplified by defining a helper function, I will withdraw that suggestion.

I also misunderstood that commands could not be assigned to keys in preview mode when using the vim plugin. In Inkdrop v5, I had the following configuration:

".mde-preview": {
    "ctrl-n": "sidetoc:jump-next"
}

By changing the selector as shown below, it worked:

".mde-preview-container": {
    "ctrl-n": "sidetoc:jump-next"
}

The following is written in Japanese.

結論としては解決できたので、クローズでよいです。

vim plugin でノーマルモードのキーマッピングに 特定のコマンド (sidetoc:jump-next など) を当てられないと思っていましたが、
Vim.defineEx を使えば可能なことが分かりました。ありがとうございます。

ついでに Vim.map("<C-n>", "sidetoc:jump-next"); のように直接コマンドを定義できると便利かと思いましたが、
便利関数を自分で定義すれば簡略化できるので取り下げます。

また、vim plugin を入れると preview モードで特定のキーにコマンドを設定できないと勘違いしていました。
Inkdrop v5 では以下のような定義をしていました。

".mde-preview": {
    "ctrl-n": "sidetoc:jump-next"
}

以下のようにセレクターを変えることで動作しました。

".mde-preview-container": {
    "ctrl-n": "sidetoc:jump-next"
}

Added :cmd so you can dispatch any Inkdrop command directly from Vim mappings in v3.1.2!
https://github.com/inkdropapp/inkdrop-vim/releases/tag/v3.1.2

You are right, I should have mentioned the selector changes in the migration guide. Will do!
Thanks for the feedback, @basyura san!
