Disable Alt-h terminal mode key combination

Question

I would like to disable the Alt-h key combination that brings up the horizontal terminal in Neovim.

I see the original mapping in ~/.config/nvim/lua/core/mappings.lua:

    ["<A-h>"] = {                                      
      function()                                       
        require("nvterm.terminal").toggle "horizontal" 
      end,                                             
      "Toggle horizontal term",                        
    },                                                 

This mapping is for normal mode (n).

I'm looking to add an override in .config/nvim/lua/custom/init.lua.

I've tried all sorts of approaches, using unmap, vim.api.nvim_set_keymap, map <Esc-h> <Nop>, and more, but I can't find something that works apart from commenting out the original code, which is not a good solution.

Any pointers appreciated.

Note - I have NVChad installed, if this has any impact.

Answer 1

I would suggest you to add the following lines to:

~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/mapping.lua

-- more keybinds!
M.custom = {
  n = {
    ["<A-h>"] = {"<Nop>", ""}
  }
}
