Stop NVimTree from overriding custom hotkeys

[savchenko]

I would like to prevent NVimTree from taking over <Tab> by default. Ideally — I would like it to not override any of my custom hotkeys, unless specifically asked to.

For example, I normally have <Tab> set to "switch between currently opened windows", like so:

function NormalTab()
    if winnr('$') > 1
      execute "normal \<C-w>w"
    elseif len(getbufinfo({'buflisted': 1})) > 1
      :bnext
    endif
endfunction

I would like this behaviour to continue working in all windows, including the nvim-tree one.

I have checked the on_attach section in the manual, however adding vim.keymap.del() after the api.config.mappings.default_on_attach(bufnr) does not seem to work.

Any clues?

How are you deleting the keymap? Are you specifying the buffer?

From my config:

vim.keymap.del("n", "<BS>",     { buffer = bufnr }) -- api.node.navigate.parent_close,
