command-key ";" in vim mode

[honza]

Description

When using the vim mode of Spacemacs, setting dotspacemacs-command-key or
dotspacemacs-emacs-command-key seems to have no effect. Before the 0.200
release, I was able to set the command-key to ;, meaning I could avoid
having to hit shift+; to enter the vim command line menu.

The vim-related code that made this work was removed in 58e5241.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Start Emacs
• Set dotspacemacs-command-key to ;
• Reload emacs config with SPC f e R

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔

• Hitting ; in normal mode doesn't enter command menu

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄

• Hitting ; in normal mode does enter command menu

I'm still facing this bug on 0.200.4@24.5.1 (spacemacs)

[honza]

@lijoantony Did you rename the config key name in your ~/.spacemacs file?

[lijoantony]

@honza I have the below line in my ~/.spacemacs inside dotspacemacs/init function.

dotspacemacs-command-key ";"

[honza]

@lijoantony That's your problem. It should be (dotspacemacs-ex-command-key ";").

@honza Thank you very much!
