Switched from Vim to LazyVim (NeoVim) and am now at a loss on how to configure and utilize this plugin.

I wanted to point out that the documentation is unclear and lacks adequate instructions for beginners with Lua and LazyVim (NeoVim) on how to start using the plugin.

As a result, I'm unsure where to insert these bindings.

I'm using this:

use {
  'Vonr/align.nvim',
  commit = '2004d26',
  config = function ()
    vim.keymap.set('x', '<C-a>', function()
      require'align'.align_to_string(true, true, true)
    end, { noremap = true, silent = true, nowait = true })
  end
}

You just need to change <C-a> to anything else. I encountered some bugs so I stayed in the old version 2004d26.

I have this in my plugins directory

return {
  "Vonr/align.nvim",
   keys = {
    {
      mode = "x",
      "<leader>aa",
      function()
        require("align").align_to_char({
          length = 1,
        })
      end,
      desc = "Aligns to 1 char",
    },
    {
      mode = "x",
      "<leader>ad",
      function()
        require("align").align_to_char({
          preview = true,
          length = 2,
        })
      end,
      desc = "Aligns to 2 chars",
    },
    {
      mode = "x",
      "<leader>aw",
      function()
        require("align").align_to_string({
          preview = true,
          regex = false,
        })
      end,
      desc = "Aligns to string",
    },
    {
      mode = "x",
      "<leader>ar",
      function()
        require("align").align_to_string({
          preview = true,
          regex = true,
        })
      end,
      desc = "Aligns to Vim regex",
    },
  },
}

I also added this to my which-key config file

defaults = {
        ["<leader>a"] = { name = "+align", mode = "x" },
      },

hope it helps :)
