avy-goto-char-timer: jump to unique combination #284

Closed C-TWilliam closed 4 years ago

Assuming that the idea of avy is to jump to character combinations that can be seen, why does avy-goto-char-timer wait for the timer even when there is already only one instance?

It's been this way since it was implemented. I guess the extra utility is that you can back out of a unique result by using backspace. Let's keep it the way it is. If it's really bothering you, please PR with a new defcustom that does what you want.

In case someone falls here and wants to save themself some looking around, it seems there's ‎avy-single-candidate-jump after all, which you can set to t if you want what the OP did. It'd be nice to add it to the docs (or buy me a pair of glasses if it's already there).
