What happen wken you hold hijk in other roftware such as texteditor or notepad?

Which OS do you use?

Which browser do you use?

Do you use a browser plugin such as vimperator, vimnium, or so on? If so, what happen when you disable that.

What happen when you hold hijk in other software such as texteditor or notepad?

Currently I'm just using the console vim (VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Jul  9 2015 23:58:42) installed from homebrew

Which OS do you use?

OSX Yosemite version 10.10.5

Which browser do you use?

Chrome version 47.0.2526.106 (64-bit)

Do you use a browser plugin such as vimperator, vimnium, or so on? If so, what happen when you disable that.

I am not using vimperator, vimnium, or any other key binding plugins. I can disable all of my other plugins (like lastpass, ghostly, adblock, etc.)

I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce the issue :'(

[traeki]

I no longer know where the stackoverflow thread was, but based on some such, I ran

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

and restarted my computer. Works like a charm, now.

Give that a shot, and see if it fixes it. (I'm using El Capitan, but I don't think that matters for this.)

[lambdalisue]

To type an accented or alternate version of a character, hold a key down until its alternate characters are displayed.

Aha, that's why. Maybe I should write down FAQ about

$ defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Thing. Thanks @traeki

But wait. He said he could repeat keys in Vim... Hum....

[rawrgulmuffins]

I'll test this when I'm home tonight and have access to my laptop.

[lambdalisue]

ping @rawrgulmuffins How's thing going?
