Typing the letter twice to start a command

Hi,

One problem has been annoying me which is, even since the latest few uploads the command line required for me to type one letter to “focus” on the command line, but it does not input the text I type. For example, if I want to ‘move’, I need to type one letter to bring it into focus, and then type M again to start the autocomplete. I wish it went back to where I could just start typing a command immediately into the command line. Is there some way to set this back? Thanks.

Hi Jack-

I’m having trouble replicating this behavior on my computer.

Can you please send me your computer’s specs? The easy way to do this is to go to Rhinoceros > About Rhinoceros > Click the “More info” button > Click the “Copy to Clipboard” button. Then you can paste the contents into a reply in this thread (or you can private message this to me or email dan@mcneel.com if you aren’t comfortable sharing specs publicly here).

Thanks Dan,

This error is actually happening on two separate machines. One of the specs is:

Hello Jack!

I was having the same problem, and found that setting my input method to “US English” fixed it. You may want to try that, if you are using a different english input method.

It’s in the Input Sources pane of the keyboard preference.
