Keeping vim motions keys pressed doesn't move the cursor in VS Code

So I have a new install of vs code on mac. I also installed the Vim-Plugin. Everything works fine. The only thing is that if I keep hjfk pressed the cursor does not move.

What am I might be doing wrong here?

Solution

  • To disable the Apple press and hold for VSCode only, run this command in a terminal:

    defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

    Then restart VSCode.
