vimperator
typing partial mapping in insert mode
Issue type:
- Bug report
Version:
3.13.1 home-compiled
Description:
typing partial mapping while in INSERT mode differs from that of vim. vim actually inserts printed character into buffer (or makes it look like inserted) waiting for the next; then if mapping success it clears chars from buffer and executes mapping, otherwise it will timeout soon leaving chars in a buffer. on the other hand, vimperator won't ever timeout waiting until either mapping is complete or irrelevant character typed instead — latter will normally send all chars into buffer at once.
problem: can not type only beginning of the mapping as normal input, e.g. can not finish text with sequence that is part of map.
Steps to reproduce:
imap jk <Esc>
imap kj <Esc>
type k or j in any input field
Able to reproduce.
As a possible workaround, I suggest using mappings with modifiers in insert mode. For example <C-j> (note: this is a default firefox keybind for going to about:home.
yeah… but the point was that jk / kj is amazingly easy to hit in one keystroke without any modifiers.
