ideavim repeating keys on macOS Ventura 13.4
by Riley MacDonald, June 2, 2023

After upgrading to an Apple M1, I struggled to enable repeating keys in Android Studios ideavim plugin. For example, holding j or k, doesn’t not allow for continuous movement of the cursor.

Since I don’t mind enabling this globally on macOS, the following command resolved the issue for me:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Note, Android Studio will need to be restarted for this setting to be applied
