Description

  • [X ] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • [ X] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: Windows 10

  • Hyper.app version: 2.0.0 stable

  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is vanilla

Issue

I use Hyper with WSL in Windows 10. Sometimes ESC from VIM works fine - but then gradually over time the amount of time between a key push and it responding degrades.

This almost renders Hyper unusable for VIM.

Research direction

Reproduce the ESC delay in vanilla Hyper.app 2.0.0 on Windows 10 with WSL and VIM, checking whether the response degrades over time. Done means identifying and resolving the gradual delay so ESC remains responsive during VIM use.
