Going off on a tangent, but replying to this comment in the thread:
Allegedly, on or about 17 July 2017, stan sent:
This sounds a lot like a vim plugin for editing html. In that
plugin,
it uses the , as the key to indicate that it is receiving a command.
So, whenever a comma is typed, it treats any character within a second
as a command, and does a lookup to see if it should do anything. This
causes a pause whenever a , is typed if that plugin is active.
I use some things added to the .vimrc file to do that kind of thing, but
its trigger character is the backslash: \ The backslash is something
that we don't make a lot of use of in general typing, so about the only
time I'd ever type it in VIM was when using a special code. On those
few occasions I do want to type it, I can either double-tap it, or just
wait a moment.
The comma, on the other hand, gets typed an awful lot, I always want it
to be a comma, and I don't want it interrupting normal typing.
So, if you can change your special code character, the backslash is a
reasonable one to pick, the comma seems a really bad choice. And it can
be typed without having to use shift (at least on my keyboard layout),
so it's quick.
