bug/feature: partial mapping (aliases) don't work as expected

[adrianchongseek]

You can try something like this:

return {
  'folke/which-key.nvim',
  config = function()
    local wk = require('which-key')
    wk.register({
      ["<leader>"] = {
        w = {
          '<cmd>WhichKey <C-w><cr>', 'Window actions'
        },
      },
      ["gw"] = {
        '<cmd>WhichKey <C-w><cr>', 'Window actions'
      }
    })
  end
}

This is not perfect, but it will work like you expect.

You can try something like this: ``["w"] = { 'WhichKey ', 'Window actions' }`

This is not perfect, but it will work like you expect.

Thanks, calling :WhichKey [[action]] manually is a decent workaround, other than which-key opening instantly (without any delay) it seems to achieve what I wanted.

I'll leave this issue open so that @folke can consider the underlying issue, feature request and/or adding the workaround example to the docs (etc).
