Could not get navigation working

[amitlevy21]

Hi! thank you for this wonderful plugin!

I followed the instructions on the README but could not get navigation to work.
Using the commands: ZellijNavigationLeft, ZellijNavigationRight, ZellijNavigationUp work, but ZellijNavigationDown does not, it gives the following error: E464: Ambiguous use of user-defined command
I'm using LazyVim, and have the following settings under ~/.conifg/nvim/lua/plugins/zellij.lua:

return {
  {
    "Lilja/zellij.nvim",
    opts = {
      debug = true,
    },
  },
}

this is my zellij config, the only changes from the original config are rebinding everything from CTRL to ALT to avoid conflict of shortcuts with neovim, remove panel frame with panel_frames: false and adding catppuccin theme

What am I missing?

Thank you for the help!

Hey Amit!

Thanks for using my plugin. I'm afraid it's a bit unmaintained lately. I'm not keeping up with Zellij releases and I use tmux.

See #3 for more info. I should probably archive this repo.

Hi Erik! Thanks for letting me know so quickly!
