Neatly aliasing one of the built-in functions

[willeccles]

I have <Tab> bound to <C-w> in normal mode so that I can do window commands with only tab as the prefix. In which-key, this works as I'd expect when I press tab. It shows the same menu as if you press <C-w>. However, if I just do :WhichKey (admittedly, it is extraordinarily unlikely I will ever do this in the real world), <Tab> is shown separately. See this snippet:

Is there any way for me to tell which-key that <Tab> is equivalent to <C-w> so that it shows up as +window? This is really just me being picky, so it's fine if it isn't. I will never see this during actual usage, anyway. Thanks!

which-key does not interprete rhs of a mapping, so no this wouldn't not magically work.

You can of course define a description for your <tab> prefix in which-key like any other key

Thanks! I figured that might be the case, but I was hopeful there was some way to do it.
