How to fix the one step delay for Atom text editor?

I've been using Atom recently and loving it. There is one problem though. I'd like to move around the insertion point without leaving the home row. I set up my keymap to something as seen in the below picture.

I can move left and right without any problems, but when I try to go up or down, I need to press the key twice to put it in effect. There is one key delay, which is very very strange. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Solution

  • Check for existing mappings for ctrl-j and ctrl-k (or very similar mappings, like ctrl-k+a). If there's a conflict, it may be waiting for you to disambiguate which behavior you want.
