Vim - 'escape' key issue when keys chained

[Yorgg]

Escape is not correctly pressed+released in Vim when I chain keys
(it seems like the esc key is held down while the next key is executed).

mapping = { 'grep': Key('escape, space, f, p') }

I also tried this, and same result:

mapping = { 'grep': Key('escape') + Key('space, f, p') }

this also fails:

def _esc():
    Key("escape:down").execute()
    Key("escape:up").execute()

mapping = { 'grep': Function(_esc) + Key('space, f, p') }

I am using NeoVim

I was able to remove this error by adding a sleep call:

def _esc():
    Key("escape:down").execute()
    Key("escape:up").execute()
    sleep(0.1)

I'm not familiar with the aenea code base, but I know the basic Dragonfly API allows a pause or delay to be given inside of the key spec. I believe it works something like Key("escape/10"), with time being hundredths of a second.

thanks Versatilus, I had tried that but it also didn't work.

Hmm, I assume this is not related to Aenea, and mark as resolved.

I believe the "escape/10" thing could be made to work in Aenea; we use our own key parser and I don't remember if we implement that notation. But the broader question of why a pause is needed I suspect is mostly likely a function of xdotool/x itself.
