Not working on NixOS

[ghost]

I have no idea why, as I have everything set up correctly. I can post any extra info as needed, but I have no idea where to even begin.

My timeoutlen is set to 1000 and it still doesn't work. Should I set it higher?
Edit: :normal gcc doesn't work either.
Edit 2: My config worked perfectly on Arch, but only stopped working once I switched to NixOS.

On NixOS, you install Neovim plugins via their builtin package manager, Nix. It installs the plugin in the Start or Opt folder depending on if the plugin is lazyloaded or not. However, it installs the plugin as comment.nvim instead of Comment.nvim. Could this change something?

That, I have no idea. You should ask other people that have similar config as yours.

Will do. If I find a fix, I'll report back here and share in case anyone else has a similar issue.

A fix has been found! I have to run :runtime after/plugin/Comment.lua because :packadd doesn't automatically source the after directory in the opt directory. Someone in the thread called the use of the after directory an abuse, so I'm wondering why that is. What is the after directory used for?
PS: Since I found a working solution, I'll mark this as closed.

Hmmm very interesting. I never thought that this might well be an anti-pattern or something. You said you lazyload the plugin, could you try to sync load the plugin? And tell me whether this issue still there or not. As I use packer.nvim and do lazyload. I never faced this issue myself.

so I'm wondering why that is. What is the after directory used for?

I am using it for setting up <Plug> mappings.

I'm lazyloading the plugin using the native package manager, not Packer.nvim. Packer automatically sources any files in the after directory, but using the :packadd command does not. Due to how NixOS works, using Packer.nvim is not an option. I'm not entirely sure what syncloading is, but automatically loading the plugin works perfectly. The issue only exists when lazyloading with the native package manager.

I got your point and I know there are people using NixOs. So I am willing to change it from after/plugin/Comment.lua to plugin/Comment.lua and I hope that should remove the workaround.

[ghost]

Once it updates on my end, I'll let you know if it works.

Hi @ObsidianChickenz, you might not need that workaround after 4818a4c :)
