Visiting a file using SPC-f-f requires following it up with SPC-TAB

[DrWaleedAYousef]

Description :octocat:

trying visiting a file using helm (the key binding SPc-f-f) sometimes has a strange behaviour. Sometimes it shows the following message

Auto-evilification could not remap these functions in map ‘pdf-view-mode-map’:
   - ‘pdf-view-jump-to-register’ originally mapped on ‘’’
error in evil-define-key: Key sequence ' ' starts with non-prefix key '
Auto-evilification could not remap these functions in map ‘pdf-occur-buffer-mode-map’:
   - ‘tablist-revert’ originally mapped on ‘G’

then opens the file but does not display it. I have to hit SPC-TAB to bring it to the current window!

Reproduction guide :beetle:

• Start Emacs
• <>
