Hi, thanks for the input.
I'll experiment with your recommendations!
Before I try anything, I should say that I just discovered that the command to select words to the left works perfectly. Only the one for select word right keeps going.
For that command, if I hold down the keys for about two seconds, it continues to select for an additional 3-1/2 seconds. Since only one command has this property, perhaps I have something interfering, as you mention. Odd that the command would repeat, as if a buffer was retaining the auto-repeat commands. At least, since the SCL command works perfectly, the solution must be at hand.
I hope the trigger gets posted this time:
Here is the one for selecting words to the right:
Macro SWR
Trigger CA:
(I see that the trigger shows "CA:" but the trigger in the macro is actually with a semi-colon "C+A+;" Not sure why.
And here is select words to the left, which stops the moment I release it.
Macro SWL
Trigger CAj
Otherwise, they both work perfectly. So maybe I have to look for something that would interfere. However, it's very unlikely that I would have created a conflicting command, because I'm very cognizant of these commands. I use them all the time...and it used to work perfectly fine.
By the way, it's great to have the repeat functionality back!!! I really rely on these commands a lot (as in all day) when I'm writing and editing!
