Holding down a key doesn't repeat it (on 0.3.0 with osx) #1545
Comments
Hello and welcome to the Oni repository! Thanks for opening your first issue here. To help us out, please make sure to include as much detail as possible - including screenshots and logs, if possible. |
Well, it was indeed an OSX issue: see https://stackoverflow.com/a/39977374 I'm not sure what's the proper "name" I should use for onivim if I wanted to disable it only for that application though... anyway, I'm closing this now as it's unrelated to onivim. |
Wow, that's a bad one. |
Ah ya, I wish there was a way we could set this up automatically - it's a pain point for sure on first run in OSX. We have a brief blurb in our Installation Guide for Mac -: Download Oni for Mac
To enable key repeat when pressing & holding a key in Oni, write the following in your terminal: defaults write com.extropy.oni ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
But perhaps there is a place where we can put it more prominently? Or maybe something to add to the 'welcome' screen in OSX, once we have it? |
I admit I totally missed this installation guide: I went to the releases page (from the Download link on the website) and downloaded the osx package, without going through the installation link listed below the screenshot :/ Also, I'm not sure about that "add to your PATH" note: CMD-Shift-P doesn't do anything on my terminal, maybe I'm missing something (I'm launching oni through spotlight search or using the icon I added to the dock) |

It used to be that Github put the downloads after the description, but now that they are at the top, it's easy to miss!
You'll need to run |
I don't think
is a proper solution. I need to write in both Spanish and English and use this feature a lot when writing non-code text, so I can't disable it. In regular neovim I can hold down keys fine without the character accent menu appearing. |
Looks like there's a relevant open issue at #1888 |
I am running macOS and I do not have this problem with vimR nor with Atom (also Electron-based). I only have this problem with Oni. So, I don't think this is an issue with the configuration of macOS. |
I tried the above solution but I can't hold down key on oni... I think it isn't the solution. |
Hi!
I've just learned about oni and wanted to give it a try, and it's awesome!
I believe I've hit a bug where holding down a key doesn't repeat it. This occurs in normal mode (eg if I press "j" to scroll down the document, it only goes down one line) and in insert mode (holding down a key will just print this letter once, not a bunch of times).
I'm on Oni v0.3.0 on OSX (high sierra 10.13.3)
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help investigate this matter!
