Is it possible to enable repeating keys only for the specific IDE where the plugin is installed? #1050

Yes, you can set it per-application. The tricky part is finding the application ID. This gist has some details. The EAP builds usually have Ideally, the plugin would do this itself, but it's unclear how to get the app ID programmatically. An even better solution would be for the plugin to disable press and hold while in Normal mode. I think this is now supported by the JBR, so it should be possible to enable/disable input methods for the editor when the mode changes. However, that needs implementing. |

Upon first installing the plugin in PyCharm(2024.2.4) on macOS 15.01, a pop-up appears asking about enabling repeating keys
on press and hold.
Clicking
Yes
changes the global default value of theApplePressAndHoldEnabled
to0
, which seems unnecessary, as there should also be an option to change it on a per-app basis.I have tried looking for an IDE-specific default, like
com.jetbrains.pycharm ApplePressAndHoldEnabled
, but I could not find it usingdefaults
.Is anyone aware of a better solution for this?
