(use-package elfeed)

(leader-key "w" elfeed)

Is it possible to combine the two in a simple way? I tried using :general keyword in use-package ensuring that it loads after general, but it still does not work...

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.
