Unable to remove default which-key keybindings config

[brymon68]

I am trying to completely disable all default which-key bindings (besides those defined in my keymaps) but have been unsuccessful.

In my plugins/which-key.lua file I have:

return {
  "folke/which-key.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  init = function()
    vim.o.timeout = true
    vim.o.timeoutlen = 500
  end,
  keys = function()
    return {} -- <--should remove all default mappings
  end
}

I have tried overriding defaults as well as overriding keys but have been unsuccessful. Am I missing something?
