Unable to set repeatable key for IdeaVim for WebStorm

Question

I'd like to get the repeatable key enable on IdeaVim so that I can hold j or k to browse a file a in Vim fashion.

But I'd like to disable it only for WebStorm as I need the press and hold feature for writing french characters.

I came across those commands for this purpose:

defaults write com.jetbrains.WebStorm=EAP ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
defaults write com.jetbrains.WebStorm ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Yet it still doesn't work. Any idea how I could fix it?

I had the same problem as you. However, running this in mac terminal worked for me.

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
