j/k held down keep moving cursor

[hugwi]

First off thanks for this! Couldn't survive without it!

Maybe this isn't best practice but something that really been bugging me is that you're not able to keep j/k held down keep moving the cursor. Is there something obvious that I missed or is this possible to implement?

Something like what's described here worked for me: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/01/14/how-to-enable-key-repeats-on-your-mac/

@benlindsay thank you for the suggestion. Could you elaborate how you make use of this article? I'm on a mac as well but pressing down h/j/k/l works natively in vim and already bumped up key repeat to fast and delay until repeat to short.

If you did step 2 that says to enter the command defaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false and restarted any applications you want to use repeated keys in, and it still doesn't work, then I don't know what else to do

This worked for me as well. Thank you
