avy-goto-char unbinds key chord #288

Closed joekain closed 4 years ago

joekain commented 4 years ago

I'm using avy version 20191024.2310 from melpa.

I have a key chord bound to "jj" which invokes counsel-M-x like this:

(key-chord-define-global "jj" 'counsel-M-x)

If I use avy-goto-char and if I end up using "jj" to jump to a character the jump works but my key chord becomes unbound.

I can reproduce. But this seems to be a key-chord issue. Avy does nothing else than call read-key.

This code is enough to break key-chord:

(dotimes (i 2)
  (read-key "test: "))

Closing the issue as not relevant to avy.

In my opinion, you should not use key-chord, as Emacs was not designed around it. The package key-chord is very old and likely hacky. You can M-x report-emacs-bug if you would like a feature similar to key chord in core Emacs.
