Ability to overwrite desc in mappings in settings #781

Feature value
At present, I have to spell out every key mapping twice.
In my orgmode-nvim settings, as settings => mapping => preferred shortcut.
And in my which-key settings, as settings => mapping => preferred shortcut and desc.
For example:
-- nvim/lua/plugins/orgmode.lua
return {
'nvim-orgmode/orgmode',
config = function()
require('orgmode').setup({
mappings = {
org = {
org_priority = '<leader>opc',
org_priority_up = '<leader>opu',
org_priority_down = '<leader>opd',
},
},
})
end,
}
-- nvim/lua/plugins/whichkey.lua
return {
'folke/which-key.nvim',
config = function()
wk = require('which-key')
wk.setup({})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
pattern = 'org',
callback = function()
local buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
wk.add({
{ '<leader>op', group = 'Priority', buffer = buf },
{ '<leader>opc', desc = 'Change', buffer = buf },
{ '<leader>opu', desc = 'Up', buffer = buf },
{ '<leader>opd', desc = 'Down', buffer = buf },
})
end,
})
end
}
This creates the risk of the two tables getting out of sync.
It also means I spend a lot of wasted effort inside which-key creating autocommands that attempt to duplicate functionality that already exists within orgmode-nvim.
If orgmode-nvim allowed you to overwrite the desc in its own settings, I'd only have to specify this once, which would eliminate the risk of these two tables getting out of sync. I'd also be able to let orgmode-nvim take care of deciding when the shortcut should be made available, instead of writing my own autocommands.
(I'd still have to define custom groups within which-key, but at least they are only defined once.)
