Vim: following exit from insert mode doesn't register when using as leader on OS X
Describe the bug
When pressing <leader> <leader> attempting to use easy motion immediately after existing insert mode, the second <leader> cancels the command chain and returns to normal mode. This only happens the first time after existing insert mode, and only happens when using <space> as leader.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create an empty document in VSCode with VIM extension installed and enabled.
- Enter insert mode, and enter some text
- Press escape to exit insert mode
- Press
<leader>(the status bar will show --NORMAL--<leader> - Press
<leader>again (the status bar will return to --NORMAL– - Press
<leader><leader>now and it will work as expected.
Expected behavior Using <leader><leader> after exiting insert mode should work the same as normal.
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.11.2
- VSCode version: 1.39.2
- OS: Mojave (10.14.6 (18G95))
Additional context If I had to guess this feels like a performance issue. I was disabling extensions to see if I could prevent the issue, and while it didn’t prevent the issue, with fewer extensions running it seemed harder to reproduce.

I was having this issue on MacOS and seem to have fixed it by going to “System Preferences” -> “Keyboard” -> “Text” and unchecking “Add full stop(period) with double-space”.
@bphilly96 Omg… I had no idea that was a thing. I’ve just changed that setting and put my leader back to
<space>, and will see if I see the issue again. Hopefully you found the smoking gun here; it definitely seems likely that you have. Thanks so much for posting your solution here!
