Recently I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 19.10. Since then it seems that the delay between key presses is not working anymore.
For example, if I want to toggle the sidebar I have to press ctlr+k ctrl+b. If I am not doing this extremly fast it will not work at all but instead it will trigger the current build. (ctrl+b)
Is it possible that there is a new bug? Maybe I can work around this if I can change the setting for said delay, but I haven’t found it…
The delay has always been hard-coded to 1500ms (1.5s). This hasn’t changed in recent versions of ST.
Which version of Sublime Text are you using and could you share any custom key bindings you’re using?
I’m using build 3211.
I know that the delay is fixed. My guess is, that this has something to do with the OS upgrade. I have quite a few keybindings for sublime text, here is a gist for my keybindings.
Are there any settings that I can activate to see some log output?
You can use sublime.log_input(True) in the console to view keys pressed, as well as sublime.log_commands(True) to see which commands were run.
Is { "keys": ["ctrl+b"], "command": "unbound" } something you added to diagnose this key delay issue? If not does removing that key bindings fix it?
I started the log output and it seems that the delay is indeed not working.
I see in the console that sublime is calling a command very very shortly after I pressed the first button…
I’m using Xubuntu 19.10 and I timed it with a stopwatch, the 1.5 second delay works fine for me between pressing Ctrl+K and Ctrl+B in case that helps at all.
What command is shown? do you have any packages installed that bind to Ctrl+K alone?
ctrl+k alone is not associated with any command.
Also, the problem happens everytime I am trying to use a command that has a chain of keys not only with ctrl+k ctrlk+b
No command is running. The console just shows that this: key evt: control+k.
The command log appears only after I hit the second chain. If I am hitting it very fast it says: command: toggle_side_bar if I am not fast enough I get this: command: unbound
Here it is working! Thanks! I will reinstall my missing packages and (hopefully) find the one which is causing my issues…
I’m having the same issue now, the ctrl+k, ctrl+b sequence is still toggling the sidebar, however it also triggers a build for me (ctrl + b), no matter how quickly the sequence is entered. Not sure what broke this behavior, but I upgraded to ST4 within the last month. Is reverting really the only option?
Fwiw, this happens to me in Safe Mode too. It’s quite annoying. I hit Command K + B as quickly as possible and it starts trying to do a build. In Safe Mode, it says “no build system”, but clearly it wants to build.
I’m on Mac, version 4126.
What gets logged in the ST console when you enable command and input logging with: sublime.log_input(True); sublime.log_commands(True)?
Thank you. It turns out it was this issue, https://githubmemory.com/repo/duydao/Text-Pastry/issues/93.
The commands logged when hitting command k + b were,
command: toggle_side_bar
command: toggle_side_bar
plugin rewritten command: text_pastry_cancel
command: build
