floaterm toggle not responding to which-key

[hopezh]

I'm using LazyVim to install floaterm, with the following keymap config in the floaterm.lua file in LazyVim/lua/plugins folder to create a new floaterm window or toggle a floaterm window:

return {
  {
    "voldikss/vim-floaterm",
    keys = {
      { "<leader>ot", "<cmd>FloatermNew<cr>", desc = "new floaterm" },
      { "<leader>to", "<cmd>FloatermToggle<cr>", desc = "toggle floaterm" },
    },
  },
}

However, once the floterm window is open, which-key's keymap to is not working anymore, whatever I type will be the input of the terminal line, i.e. the floaterm window is not responding to which-key anymore.

May I ask how to make floaterm responds to which-key key maps? Thanks.

If you are using neovim, just run :checkhealth floaterm and post the content

I am getting the same thing:

return {
    'voldikss/vim-floaterm',
    init = function()
        vim.g.floaterm_keymap_toggle = '<F1>'
    end,
}

This one seems to work for me.

I have tried about everything at this point and @ScheiklP method is the only one that works for me, as well. Thanks for the solution!

Defining shortcuts using the "keys" option didn't work for me to toggle terminals. putting it in the init options works for me too.
