NVF treats my keyboard as if it was US keyboard

[night-kat]

I have this problem where i have the following set as keymap:

programs.nvf.settings.vim.keymaps = [
    # Comments
    # Other keybinds omitted for brevity

    {
      mode = "n";
      key = "<leader>/";
      action = "gcc";
      desc = "Toggle Comment";
    }

    {
      mode = "v";
      key = "<leader>/";
      action = "gc";
      desc = "Toggle comment in visual mode";
    }
]

But when I try to enter it with my keyboard which would be Space Shift and 7 which would become /, it doesn't work. It also doesn't work with other characters on like öäü for example. All my locales are set to german, my keyboard layout in hyprland is also set to german and the xkb_settings are also german. Could anything else interfere?
Typing in insert mode makes my keyboard act like a german one. I remember this working with nvchad, and i am trying to make something similar because i have used it for a long time.

Thank you for your help

after trying some other keys, the command gcc doesn't even get activated. but typing it manually works

I think this is due to missing noremap = false

gcc is not part of good ol' vim, therefore you need remapping to bind to it, see :help default-mappings for info

This solved the problem i was having. BUt what do you mean by 'gcc is not part of vim' when i do help default-mappings i can see gcc command. Thank you very much for your help though. I was looking in the wrong places, locales, keyboard layout settings, window manager settings, terminal emulator and all that. I have been using vim for a long time but i don't know it that well.

nvim adds some keymaps (via vim.keymap.set at startup) that are not covered/different in vim. You need to use noremap=false to those

(sorry but I don't know how to answer fully cuz it would take a bit of time since I'm not sure what you know about noremap. Just know that some mappings are only available in nvim and not vim (anything in the default-mappings page), for these you need noremap=false to bind to them)
