Enable Keyboard Key Repeat on Mac
· One min read
On a Mac, when you press and hold a specific key for a while, a special character input window like umlauts may appear. This can be quite disruptive when using editors like Vim for code navigation.
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
After running the above command and restarting the application, the special character input window, such as umlauts, will no longer appear and key repetition will be enabled.
