Improve keymap errors from command typos (#3931)
* Improve keymap errors from command typos Currently, opening helix with a config containing a bad command mapping fails with a cryptic error. For example, say we have a config (bad.toml) with a command name that doesn't exist: [keys.normal] b = "buffer_close" # should be ":buffer-close" When we `hx -c bad.toml`, we get... > Bad config: data did not match any variant of untagged enum KeyTrie for key `keys.normal` at line 1 column 1 > Press <ENTER> to continue with default config This is because of the way that Serde tries to deserialize untagged enums such as `helix_term::keymap::KeyTrie`. From the Serde docs[^1]: > Serde will try to match the data against each variant in order and the > first one that deserializes successfully is the one returned. `MappableCommand::deserialize` fails (returns an Err variant) when a command does not exist. Serde interprets this as the `KeyTrie::Leaf` variant failing to match and declares that the input data doesn't "match any variant of untagged enum KeyTrie." Luckily the variants of KeyTrie are orthogonal in structure: we can tell them apart by the type hints from a `serde::de::Visitor`. This change uses a custom Deserialize implementation along with a Visitor that discerns which variant of the KeyTrie applies. With this change, the above failure becomes: > Bad config: No command named 'buffer_close' for key `keys.normal.b` at line 2 column 5 > Press <ENTER> to continue with default config We also provide more explicit information about the expectations on the field. A config with an unexpected type produces a message with that information and the expectation: [keys.normal] b = 1 > Bad config: invalid type: integer `1`, expected a command, list of commands, or sub-keymap for key `keys.normal.b` at line 2 column 5 > Press <ENTER> to continue with default config [^1]: https://serde.rs/enum-representations.html#untagged * Update helix-term/src/keymap.rs Co-authored-by: Ivan Tham <pickfire@riseup.net> Co-authored-by: Ivan Tham <pickfire@riseup.net>
