Does the pycharm IdeaVim plugin not support continuous scrolling for long press?

The pycharm IdeaVim plugin does not support continuous scrolling, like Vim or MacVim. When you press "j" to move or any other key to move, it acts only once, instead of continuously scrolling with a long press. Any suggestions?

Yes, this is an OS problem; key repeat works fine in IdeaVIM if the OS is configured to support it.

There thread discusses a change in Mac OS X Lion (10.7) that disables key repetition, as well as workarounds to enable it back. You can either reactivate key repetition globally, or in each application; the stream contains commands for both.

To install it globally:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

To install it for IntelliJ Community Edition:

 defaults write com.jetbrains.intellij.ce ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

IntelliJ Ultimate Edition:

 defaults write com.jetbrains.intellij ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Appcode:

 defaults write com.jetbrains.appcode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Phpstorm:

 defaults write com.jetbrains.phpstorm ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Android Studio:

 defaults write com.google.android.studio ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

PyCharm:

 defaults write com.jetbrains.pycharm ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
