Enable key-repeat for ALL applications or just for IdeaVim/specific JetBrains apps
Upgrading to Lion or Yosemite and WebStorm 9, I noticed key repeat was
turned off for the IdeaVim plugin h j k l keys.
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false in a terminal will enable
key repeat for every app. This can alternatively be found in the accessibility
settings in OS X' preferences.
If you only want this behavior for specific JetBrains' apps, use:
defaults write com.jetbrains.intellij.ce ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falsedefaults write com.jetbrains.intellij ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falsedefaults write com.jetbrains.AppCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falsedefaults write com.jetbrains.PyCharm ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falsedefaults write com.google.android.studio ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falsedefaults write com.jetbrains.WebStorm ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false *defaults write com.jetbrains.RubyMine ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false *** * These are assumptions, use Spotlight com.jetbrains. to get type hinting for your
specific app**
