I'm using the VS Code Vim extension, and if I want to move down and I hold j for example it will move down once, pause then continue. Is there a way to make it automatically keep going up without that pause?
I've been digging through the settings and Google all morning and I can't see where I can or if I can changes this.
The closest I found to an answer was this post but it did't really help (I am on windows sadly).
I don't think this behaviour is controllable by VS Code or any VS Code extension. If I understand correctly, this behaviour is controlled / configured at the Operating System / Desktop Environment level.
For Ubuntu: Settings > Accessibility > Repeat Keys > Delay
For Windows: Keyboard Properties > Speed > Repeat Delay
For macOS: System Settings > Keyboard > Delay Until Repeat
Also note that in Vim, you can make a command execute multiple times by prefixing it with a number. Ex. To do j 42 times, just do 42j. And to jump to line N, do NG (where N is the line number and G is the literal character G).
