Description

Describe the bug

I would like to be able to hold down the keys ghjk to move, but it will only move one space at a time. This is after following the instructions

defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install viscose cim
  2. run defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
  3. Restart vim
  4. Try to move around in a file

Expected behavior
I expect to continue moving when holding down the hjkl keys
