Intermittent issues with keypad-mode

[fedreg-bn]

Just discovered keypad-mode and it's great!!!

Mine seems to not always work as expected though..

Sometimes it pops up for a split second, disappears right away, and has an error:

Failed Select: Invalid argument

This happens if I push SPC-c, SPC-x, or SPC-c and with various major modes.

But it is inconsistent and sometimes works fine..

Most likely on my end but not sure where to look...

Keep a pretty minimal config with only these packages

(ag
cider
company
fzf
key-chord
magit
meow
rainbow-delimiters
smartparens
typit
xclip)

Emacs 28.0.50 Mac Big Sur Running in TTY mode in terminal

If anyone has experienced / resolved this issue please let me know. I'll try to dig around in meow's code this weekend and see if I can spot the conflict

Thanks!

Hi, Try M-x toggle-debug-on-error, then when something goes wrong, you'll get a stacktrace.

That information will be helpful.

Ah, good idea!

if you've never seen this before and no one else has mentioned it.. I'll check that trace and see if I spot the issue on my side

thx!!

This is where it happened: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/blob/master/meow-keypad.el#L298

How about do (sit-for most-positive-fixnum t) on your side? Will it raise an error?

[fedreg-bn]

yes

yeah, so you have to figure this out, since it is bulit-in emacs function.

[fedreg-bn]

Sounds good! I'll dig into it. Thanks for the pointer!!!

[fedreg-bn]

I could not figure out why most-positive-fixnum is not working with sit-for. I didn't have much time to look into it so I just passed another variable to that sit-for and it's working fine.

Buys me a bit of time to figure out what the issue is

I'll go ahead and close this ticket for now and update it if I find the issue.

Thanks again!

Okay, we can change it to a large value, It does not have to be most-positive-fixnum.

Here it's how long popup will wait before it close. If you think it's necessary to avoid using most-positive-fixnum, you can change it to something like 1000000 then open a PR.
