Freezing with message "Starting ergoemacs command loop"

dunmaksim commented 9 years ago

Hello!

I use ergoemacs from MELPA. I see the message "Starting ergoemacs command loop" after one of latest update after EMACS start (but not always, 8/10). EMACS freezes and work only Alt+F4. Ctrl+G, Ctrl+Break and other keybindings not works. After removing ergoemacs-mode package all works, but I can't not use him.

The version on melpa is unstable. You can use the stable version (stable.melpa), where all the bugs passed the test. Otherwise, as a work-around you could also use:

(setq ergoemacs-command-loop-type nil)

With this option the following things are unsupported:

Arrow keys and other keys no longer work in terminals under certain key layouts (anyone that uses Alt+O)
Command mode ergoemacs no longer works.
Extended shift-selection no longer works (that is M-> is translated to M-. if it is unbound and assumed that shit-selection is enabled; this doesn't work in normal emacs).
The apps key making keys "sticky" sort of like god-mode does not work.
Delete and edit key sequences also do not work.
The command loop shows emacs keyboard conventions (instead of ergoemacs-mode ones)

My suggestion is to use the stable version of ergoemacs-mode.

I have reproduced the bug, but haven't figured out where the issue in the hanging of emacs occurs. What version of emacs are you using.

@mlf176f2, Hi, this has been originally posted at Emacs Stackexchange: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14807/start-ergoemacs-command-loop-how-to-fix-break-my-work

This post says that Emacs is built from source and its version is 24.5.1.

(I just wanted to provide link to Emacs Stackexchange question).
