Research direction

Start with /home/user/.config/nvim/init.vim at line 36 and reproduce the startup errors around the quickui#menu#install call. Read the plugin's setup and usage entry points to determine why section is undefined; done means Neovim starts without the reported E121 and E116 errors.

Description

Error when using set this line in init.vim

call quickui#menu#install(section, items [, weight [, filetypes]])

when starting vim the following errors appear

Error detected when processing /home/user/.config/nvim/init.vim:
line 36:
E121: Undefined variable: section
E116: Invalid arguments for the quickui#menu#install function
Press ENTER or type a command to continue

I am not using any plugin. The quickUI folder is at home / .config / nvim / pack / plugins / vim-quickui

I'm using Ubuntu 30.04.2 LTS

I found the plugin very good, but I couldn't use it, if anyone has any tips on how to solve it. I thank.
