Description
if tried:
defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false # For VS Code
defaults write com.microsoft.VSCodeInsiders ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false # For VS Code Insider
defaults write com.vscodium ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false # For VS Codium
defaults write com.microsoft.VSCodeExploration ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false # For VS Codium Exploration users
defaults delete -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled # If necessary, reset global default
and even cursor specifc:
mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier /Applications/Cursor.app
kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier = "com.todesktop.230313mzl4w4u92"
defaults write com.todesktop.230313mzl4w4u92 ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
defaults delete -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled
but i'm still not able to navigate by holding keys down... , i'm probably doing something wrong as i'm new to VS-code / Cursor
