Leaderf doesn't support Cmd+V for pasting content on its prompt. Given that this is the default shortcut on Mac, it becomes very counter-intuitive for Mac users to have to use CTRL+V only in this case instead.

I tried to use Lf_CommandMap but couldn't get it to map correctly my Cmd+V to CTRL+V.

Note that I can paste normally using Cmd+V in my Vim inside the terminal with no extra configuration. I used other fuzzy finders in the past (fzf, clap) and this always worked with no extra configuration as well.

Steps to reproduce

1. Call Leaderf file
2. Press Cmd+V to paste anything on the prompt
3. See that nothing gets pasted in the Leaderf window
4. Open some file or simply close Leaderf window without opening anything
5. See the content you pasted in the buffer that was open

Actual behaviour

Expected behaviour

Cmd+V behaves just like CTRL+V.

This issue is because of vim/vim#5349.

Thanks for looking into it! I’m actually using neovim though, in case you wanna open an issue in their repo as well.

The issue for neovim: neovim/neovim#11551

Close this issue as neovim/neovim#11551 has been closed.

Sorry but I don't understand why this is a vim/nvim issue, when LeaderF is the only place in the entire terminal environment where Cmd+V doesn't work. This key combo works as expected in iTerm, inside tmux, inside vim, inside nvim, and with other plugins like fzf and Clap. It's literally only inside LeaderF that it doesn't work.

[Yggdroot]

Because LeaderF uses getchar() to get the input characters, others do not.
