Unable to navigate within the main editor window after loading :Minimap

[alexxroche]

[vim version 8.1.1401 on debian ] I've applied the patch from lambdalisue. Now when I type :Minimap I get:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>33_win_enter_handler[4]..<SNR>33_source_win_enter[1]..<SNR>33_source_move:
line   13:
E716: Key not present in Dictionary: botline
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Error detected while processing function <SNR>33_cursor_move_handler[4]..<SNR>33_source_move:
line   13:
E716: Key not present in Dictionary: botline
Press ENTER or type command to continue

The minimap then loads on the right-hand side. I can Ctrl+w+w to move the cursor into the minimap window and navigate as expected but if I try to navigate in the main window by pressing j I get:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>33_cursor_move_handler[4]..<SNR>33_source_move:
line   13:
E716: Key not present in Dictionary: botline
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I can edit/write/quit files as normal, (and navigation is not effected before I type :Minimap.)

(This could be due to a bug in my install script?)

code-minimap seems to be working nicely.

@alexxroche I don't known why. Can you try to load the plugin using vim-plug? If that is OK it should be some problem in your manually install script.

[alexxroche]

I rolled my $HOME/.vim directory back to how it was before my script installed minimap. Then I installed vim-plug with:

#!/bin/sh

# install vim-plug
curl -fsLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

# add vim-plug to .vimrc
grep -q 'insert_vim_plug' ~/.vimrc || \
cat >>~/.vimrc <<'EOF'

" Enable vim-plug
function! s:insert_vim_plug()
    let l:vimPlugFile =  $HOME . "/.vim/etc/vim-plug"
    if filereadable(l:vimPlugFile)
        exec ":source " . l:vimPlugFile
    endif
endfunction
call <SID>insert_vim_plug()

EOF

# create vim-plug rc
if [ -f "~/.vim/etc/vim-plug ]; then # add minimap to vim-plug, if it isn't already there
    grep -q 'wfxr/minimap.vim' ~/.vim/etc/vim-plug || sed -i "s,^Plug ,Plug 'wfxr/minimap.vim'\nPlug ," ~/.vim/etc/vim-plug
else
    mkdir -p ~/.vim/etc/ 2>/dev/null
    cat >>$HOME/.vim/etc/vim-plug <<EOF 
" plugins
" Plugins will be downloaded under the specified directory.
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

" Declare the list of plugins.
Plug 'wfxr/minimap.vim'

" List ends here. Plugins become visible to Vim after this call.
call plug#end()
EOF

# run vim-plug and inform the user 
vim -c "PlugInstall" -c "q" -c "q" && printf "\n[\033[1;33mi\033[0m] \033[1;32m vim-plug\033[0m has finished\n"

Resulted in:

but sadly vim -c "Minimap" produces:

Repro in Vim 8.0 (1-1453).

[wfxr]

Confirmed upgrading to Vim 8.2 will fix this.

Vim 8.2 on my arch linux works good. And I used the ppa from this link to test vim 8.2 under ubuntu 18.04 also works fine.

You can have a try to see if it works for you.

[alexxroche]

I'm on stable debian which has vim version 8.1.1401 (so I'll wait for debian to get to 8.2 and let you know if I'm still having the problem.)

for what it's worth,

if v:version >= 802
	let g:minimap_auto_start " or whatever minimap-specific vimrc stuff
endif

is what i'm currently using in my dotfiles to gracefully avoid this issue when i find myself on a box where actually removing a line from my vimrc and/or compiling the 8.2 version isn't worth the hassle
