# Enable Repeating Keys in VS Code on macOS

> If you want to use Vim in VS Code, you have to enable repeating keys, which can be frustrating if you are new to Vim.

```sh
# VS Code
defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

# VS Code - Insiders
defaults write com.microsoft.VSCodeInsiders ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
```

## Usage

1. Run the first command above to enable repeating keys in VS Code
2. If you use VS Code Insiders, run the second command as well
3. You may need to restart VS Code, but repeating keys should now be enabled
