I'm pretty new to neovim and vim in general and I tried to use the localleader key (default: \) and nothing happened.
Then I tried to set the localleader key in the config (lua) in various ways I could find online, none of which worked.
However when I type :echo maplocalleader in neovim it shows the key I set.
Setting maplocalleader from within neovim also yielded the same result.
My question is, what might be preventing my localleader key from working?
After setting up neovim again from scratch and copying over my configs piece by piece, I found out that I had to put vim.g.maplocalleader = ";" at the very top of init.lua in order for it to work.
