VSCode, vim plugins and key repeat
in Quicklets Last modified at:
Using vscode
and wanting key-repeat to work when you hold down a key?
If you’re using the vim
plugin with VSCode you might be frustrated when you hold down a key and it doesn’t repeat.
This appears to be related to OSX behaviour and not VSCode specifically.
According to StackOverflow, and Works On My Machine™:
# file: "run this in a terminal"
defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
Then restart VSCode.
