Add timeout_millis for nested remap

[k0kubun]

Example

I updated the implementation. This YAML:

keymap:
  - remap:
      j:
        remap:
          k: Esc
        timeout_millis: 200

• j -> 100ms -> k
  • Esc
• j -> 300ms -> k
  • j -> k
• j -> any ms -> l
  • j -> l
• j -> 200ms
  • j

That's wonderful. just finished the build and did a couple of tests

here's the config that I have used:

keymap:
  - remap:
      j:
        remap:
          k: Esc
        timeout_millis: 200

the issue is if I click j alone it will never resolve. it stays there... so it makes j unusable in my keyboard

another note: it would be very nice if we can control the default 500ms.

For backward compatibility, when it doesn't have a timeout, it doesn't timeout. I think it's natural from how it's configured, too.

[cipherlogs]

Even if I want to I can't assign a timeout to the first remap
I can't do as the following:

keymap:
  - remap:
      j:
        remap:
          k: Esc
    timeout_millis: 200

Error: "mapping values are not allowed in the context ..."

It's top-level, there's nothing to be timed out. All you need is #82 (comment).

[cipherlogs]

I don't understand, it doesn't work ... pressing j and not pressing the following key in the sequence won't resolve to the normal behaviour of j thus making j in your keyboard not functional.

that's not the behavior of what this feature should achieve.

[k0kubun]

In case I confused you by replying a short meesage,

the issue is if I click j alone it will never resolve. it stays there... so it makes j unusable in my keyboard

I still intend to fix this. However, it doesn't still change the fact that the correct config is:

keymap:
  - remap:
      j:
        remap:
          k: Esc
        timeout_millis: 200

because of how the indent level impacts which key. timeout_millis in the above YAML timeouts j, so if you're interested in the timeout of j, that's what you need.

I updated the implementation. This YAML:

keymap:
  - remap:
      j:
        remap:
          k: Esc
        timeout_millis: 200

behaves like:

• j -> 100ms -> k
  • Esc
• j -> 300ms -> k
  • j -> k
• j -> any ms -> l
  • j -> l

Hello, the config is working as expected now.
however there's still the issue of j not resolving if it's not followed by another key.

for example
right now I cannot use my hjkl in vim because it will stuck on j

below is the only behavior that's missing

j -> 200ms or more, user didn't follow with another key press ...

• j

Thank you.

I'm running on the new implementation, so far it is working great.

Give me a couple of days to test it and I'll report if something
misbehaves.

Thank you so much!

[k0kubun]

Maybe it's time to release this?

[cipherlogs]

Yes, just merge the branch. I'm very happy with the results.
Thank you.

Thank you for your patience and testing.
