Why did you add :after general? I use :general in many of my use-package forms, but never have I added that.
hmmm... without it I assumed I would get an error about unrecognized keyword. In any case, I tried this configuration again and I am getting the same error.
```Error (use-package): Failed to parse package elfeed: use-package: Unrecognized keyword: :general```
(Regardless of whether I use `:after general`)
I found an old post from you (https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/ogiiyp/in_2021_what_is_the_state_of_the_art_in_emacs/), and I tried the following, and it worked! Thanks a ton!!!
(use-package elfeed :config (leader-key "w" #'elfeed))
where leader-key is a key definer created using general-create-definer
But I don't know why :general does not work in my config.
Ah.... made a mistake! It does not work.
:config only fires after the package is loaded, but this key binding in :config is the one loading the package. Bad! For now, moved these bindings to :config of general.
It would be nice if I can figure out why :general does not work with use-package.
