Remove the `<tab>` mapping

[dbatten5]

Description

It seems like this extension adds a <tab> mapping that quotes the search term and adds a -t postfix. Is there a way to disable this mapping? I was previously using <tab> to multiselect results in the telescope window to send them all to the quickfix window for later usage. I've tried adding a "<tab>" mapping of nil to no effect.

        extensions = {
          live_grep_args = {
            auto_quoting = true,
            mappings = {
              i = {
                ["<tab>"] = nil, 
                ["<C-p>"] = lga_actions.quote_prompt(),
                ["<C-i>"] = lga_actions.quote_prompt({ postfix = " -t" }),
                ["<C-space>"] = lga_actions.to_fuzzy_refine,
              },
            },
          },

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the telescope window with require("telescope").extensions.live_grep_args.live_grep_args()
2. Enter a search term
3. Navigate to a result and press Tab

Expected behavior

It multiselects the result

Actual behavior

It quotes the search term and adds a -t postfix

Thanks for reporting the issue @dbatten5 . live grep args does not specify any default mappings. I was also unable to reproduce the issue with the minimal config provided from the issue description.

For tests, make sure, that you only load your minimal config. Also check if you have set up any mappings.

Going to close this issue, because I am unable to reproduce it. Also happy to reopen it, if there are more information about how to reproduce it.

Historically, terminal emulators could not distinguish between certain control
key modifiers and other keys. For example, and are represented in
the same way, as are and <C-[>, and , and and .

See :h tui-input.

In other words, your configuration includes the <C-i> to lga_actions.quote_prompt({ postfix = " -t" **}) is also overriding the tab behavior you usually have.

You could either configure your terminal emulator to disable this mapping <C-i> <-> <Tab> or you could change your telescope-live-grep-args to use another keymap.
