swapping the space (f and F) keys, provide unexpected behavior.

[fu3x11]

Summary

Swapping the space F keys results in file_picker_in_current_directory only being executed, instead of file_picker and file_picker_in_current_directory both being functional to their related keys.

[keys.normal.space]
f = "file_picker_in_current_directory" # This works as expected.
F = "file_picker" # This executes 'file_picker_in_current_directory' instead of 'file_picker'

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

[keys.normal.space]
f = "file_picker_in_current_directory"
F = "file_picker"

AND

[keys.normal.space]
f = "file_picker_in_current_directory"
S-f = "file_picker"

I expected this to happen:

execute 'file_picker'

Instead, this happened:

execute 'file_picker_in_current_directory'

I suspect you're not modifying the config at the right path. Are you opening the config via :config-open?

[fu3x11]

I am using config open, why would i not

if i make other modifications, the configs function just fine. but this bugs out. i've even tried to purge the package, all configs, reinstalled and reinstated everything. no luck

[kirawi]

I tested and the config works as expected.

I tested and the config works as expected.

so is something with my package broken

You can try with a completely blank config to see if there's a conflict. Else, I'd also make sure if it isn't working as you think it is. When pressing space, it shows the command associated with the key next to it.
