Insert Mode and Append do not work anymore!

[MrMic]

• [ X ] Did you check Readme and existing issues?

Describe the bug
When I switch to Insert Mode (with "i") or Append Mode with ("a")
and I type letter(s) they only appear on the last selected text and not
all! It is as if the other(s) selection(s) do not exist!

To Reproduce

• make a selection
• press "i" or "a"
• press letter(s)
• only the last selection is impacted by new letter(s). Nothing is inserted or appended in the other(s) selection(s)

Expected behavior
Insert or append letter(s) in all selection(s)

Nvim version:
v0.10.1

Multicursor version:
"multicursors.nvim": { "branch": "main", "commit": "782820896b1691ed664e4c24f1cd9793dcb33dfb" }

I am working with AstroNvim but your plugin is loaded as is. It was working like a charm a few
weeks ago...

Unfortunately, stumbled upon the same problem… Tried syncing all plugins and updating neovim to nightly and now the error occurs:

I suppose author of multicursors assumed specific version of hydra? But I don't see it pinned anywhere in README or help file.

I'm on nvimtools/hydra.nvim@7f53416 and nvim nightly, still cant reproduce this.

[MrMic]

I am with the stable release: 3ced42c
And I am with AstroNvim

[smoka7]

Try using the https://github.com/nvimtools/hydra.nvim as dependency.

[MrMic]

I just did it but that did not fix the issue...
but I try what @smoka7 said:

return {
  "smoka7/multicursors.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  dependencies = {
    "nvimtools/hydra.nvim",
    commit = "7f5341643107d05a8d7d4fdea00b29af28517380",
  },
  opts = {},
  cmd = { "MCstart", "MCvisual", "MCclear", "MCpattern", "MCvisualPattern", "MCunderCursor" },
  keys = {
    {
      mode = { "v", "n" },
      "<Leader>mM",
      "<cmd>MCstart<cr>",
      desc = "Create a selection for selected text or word under the cursor",
    },
  },
}

And it works again! 😌

@smoka7 are you able to update your hydra package?
Thanks.

Rgds,

[rachartier]

I tried @MrMic fix, but it does not work on my setup.

nvim nightly (g3b54acdc6c)
nvimtools/hydra.nvim (7f53416)
multicursors.nvim (562809a)

[MrMic]

@rachartier My nvim is a stable version: v0.10.1

I hope it may help you.

[jamestrew]

Yeah works on neovim v0.10.1 but on nightly 0.11 the error from above pops up
