ctrl-d very slow on macOS
LucaMarconato opened this issue · 5 comments
When I press ctrl-d to save the gist the terminal hangs and the gist is saved after an arbitrary long time.
Additional details.
If I keep ctrl-d pressed after few seconds the gist is uploaded, but of course the terminal is also killed. Ctrl-d works everywhere at the first press (e.g. in python or in a terminal), just gist seems to have problems.
I will try to test gist in a different macOS version.
Your gist package for emacs works perfectly, I am experiencing troubles only with this repo
@LucaMarconato very strange!
ctrl+d is not handled specially by gist, it's just the standard way to close STDIN. So, I suspect one of two things are happening:
- The delay you're seeing is the network delay of sending the input to gist (establishing an https connection and sending the data and waiting for the response).
- Your input is being buffered by something (ruby, tmux/shell, terminal emulator, ...)
One thing I noticed trying to reproduce this is that if I hit ctrl+d immediately after a new line, it seems to be mostly network bound (1-2 seconds); but if I hit ctrl+d on a line with content in it already, it never works.
Could any of those describe what you're seeing?
I get exactly the behavior you described, adding that if you keep pressed ctrl-d, then after a few seconds gist will upload the file, but since in it that precise moment ctrl-d will be still down, it will kill the terminal process too.

That part solved my issue, Add new line works!
