Describe the bug

No scrolling after pressing k j (stands still)
To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. press j
  2. release j
  3. press k

I cannot reproduce this issue. What browser/website are you using? Is it happening for you in all browsers or all websites?

Chrome, all websites. It happens only in linux (nixos, wayland).
In my windows machine there's a slight stutter of a fraction of a second when you do it and it keeps going. In my linux it just stops

Okay. I am also on Wayland Linux (Arch with Sway wm) and I cannot reproduce this issue in either Firefox or Chromium. I would guess it is likely an issue caused by something else in your setup, like another addon, or your key polling rate of your setup, etc. Some keyboards also do weird things with the key outputs instead of sending out the "direct" signals, so maybe try using a different keyboard and see if it's fixed.
You could also try running your Nix install script on another machine and seeing if you still have the problem or if it is just that machine being slow for some reason.
Unfortunately, unless I can find a consistent way to reproduce this I don't see how we can debug it to fix the problem, especially if the problem isn't actually in Vimium.

How about changing screen DPI to 100%?

Um then I have no idea.

If DPI is higher than 100%, Vimium may fail to recognize scrollable elements because of fractional position and size numbers, in some rare cases.
