Unnecessary timeout on key press

[kostaskriaridis]

Describe the bug Problem: When editor is in NORMAL mode and press i (Dvorak's c), editor does not enter to INSERT mode immediately, I have to wait for about a second (seems like there is a timeout, see Remapping output section); Context: I use Dvorak keyboard layout, and I made keys remapping

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install VSCode
2. Install Vim extension
3. Turn on Dvorak keyboard on your system
4. Put to settings.json remapper for normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive;
5. Enter NORMAL mode and press i (Dvorak's c).

Expected behavior I want to enter INSERT mode immediately after pressing i (Dvorak's c)

Is this caused by Remapper: debug: normalModeKeyBindingsMap. ambiguous match found. before=c. after=i. command=undefined. waiting for other key or timeout to finish.? Are there other mappings that start with c?

Hello, @max-sixty, thank you for your reply! = )

Answering to your question: no, there are no other mappings for c. This looks really strange that I have a strange timeout. Currently I use this mappings, and as you see, there is only one binding for c

I imagine this is it: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/6812

Yeah, looks like the same issue, thank you 🙏
