📝 Description

I use Neovim >0.11. When checking the output of :checkhealth vim.deprecated I got the following:

As :h vim.validate() suggests, the usage of vim.validate({ ... }) is deprecated since Neovim v0.11.
Therefore I took the liberty to modify utils.lua to account for the new versions without dropping support for older versions:

Now I get no deprecation warnings when using this plugin:

screenkey_health.mp4

Hi, thanks for doing this! Do you mind doing it without version-specific code (since I don't want to maintain that kind of stuff), and I'll merge it when the 0.12 becomes stable (I plan to drop support for 0.10.x), which is fairly soon, judging by this milestone.

Excellent! 1 minute and it's done!

Done. If there are any suggestions I'll be here.

That being said, I'm not exactly sure how to deal with that luacheck warning regarding unpack...

Thanks for the lightning-fast response!!

The only (possibly) better solution I can think of is to make unpack a local variable, like this:

local unpack = unpack or table.unpack

It doesn't change functionality, it makes more sense, and it removes warnings.

Also, since your update is focused on removing deprecation warnings, you should put your old title for PR back.

Other than that, this looks pretty good!

@NStefan002 All set! Also reverted my .luacheckrc modifications.

Thanks for doing this! Will merge as soon as the 0.12 version becomes stable.

@NStefan002 As a bleeding edge user, nothing wrong so far!
