I installed vim-airline about 2 weeks ago. At that time I read a section in the FAQs about a delay occurring after exiting insert mode and into normal mode. I noticed the delay and applied the fix suggested by adding timeoutlen=50
to my .vimrc
. After setting that vim-commentary started to not work. I would issue the command gcc
and vim would do nothing until I hit hjkl or an arrow key, at which vim would delete the line and enter insert mode. I also noticed that my maps that used <leader>
wouldn't work. Vim would skip a few characters and then enter visual mode.
I narrowed the problem down to the timeoutlen=50
. I then set it to timeoutlen=1000 ttimeoutlen=10
and that resolved all the problems. Now, could anyone explain what's going on with vim when timeoutlen
is set to a number like 50? Why was I having such weird issues? and why is everything resolved by setting timeoutlen
to a much higher number and setting ttimeoutlen
? and why did the FAQ suggest 50 when it created these errors?
timeoutlen
,ttimeoutlen
andesckeys
is default (timeoutlen=1000 ttimeoutlen=-1 esckeys timeout nottimeout
) and have no any problems, and no delay after exiting insert mode. By the way:he timeoutlen
,:he timeout
,:he esckeys
should explain you I hope.
