Question

In visual mode, surround keymaps have delays that cannot, at least as documented, be set to be longer.

In visual mode, surround keymaps have delays that cannot, at least as documented, be set to be longer.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "keymaps do not follow timeoutlen"? Preferably with a keypress-by-keypress explanation of what happens and what you'd expect.

And please share the full config of 'mini.surround', just in case.

When in visual mode, and is selecting a word for example, pressing sa triggers the keymap for mini.surround, and you are supposed to follow up with the surrounding character. And I tend to be pretty slow with my keymaps, so I have found that the follow up leaves barely any time for me to figure out the surrounding character before the sequence times out with this message: "Messages: (mini.surround) Enter output surrounding identifier (single character) ". And I do not see any documentation on how to modify this behavior.

My mini.surround was set up as such.

		require("mini.surround").setup({
			search_method = "cover_or_nearest",
			n_lines = 20,
		})

This message is purely informational and can be turned off by setting config.silent = true. But even after the message is shown, It is still possible to press a surrounding identifier for surrounding to take effect.

[echasnovski]

On the latest main instead of "(mini.surround) Enter output surrounding identifier (single character)" there is now a more to-the-point "(mini.surround) Reminder to press output surrounding id". Not only for 'mini.surround', but also for other modules with the same "show reminder after one idle second when waiting for the user input". Hopefully, this will make things clearer.

[PokumeKachi]

Perhaps there should be a config option to turn this reminder off?

[echasnovski]

It is already possible, as was described in this comment.
