Issues with InstantAlias

[encephalon]

the JJ alias kicks of instantly typing J which is not an alias

also similar, when i have an alias set to BS for BlendSrf while also having b for the one shot snap between (which is also not set to instant), it fortunately does not try b first but finishing typing BS it triggers b instead again.

further
the delay in the settings does not seem to correspond with the settings in the ToggleInstantAliases command which seems to be the only one that actually takes the changes into account while they are ignored in the settings.

also, when i toggle the instant alias and try ö for instance which i have set to line it repeats ToggleInstantAliases.

the entire experience is unusable at the moment while in v8 that does seem to be an issue, though i dont have any delay that i can set but i do not use that anyway, did maybe delay trigger these complications?

I reported something similar months ago.

Version 9 WIP (9.0.24275.12306, 2024-10-01)

1. Load the aliases from wip9.txt (184 Bytes).
2. Make all of them instant, except the alias Z.
3. Run _ToggleInstantAliases and set the delay to 0.
4. Try to execute any of the instant aliases, Z1 etc.
5. The wrong macro is executed (_Help is executed instead of _Line).

Found another issue as well. Alias is treated as instant when it is not;

1. Load the aliases from wip9.txt (184 Bytes).
2. Open the aliases list and observe that there is no aliases named ZQ.
3. Run _ToggleInstantAliases and set the delay to 300 etc.
4. Type ZQ and wait. A command is executed even though ZQ is not an instant alias.

well i understand that @stevebaer had a good flow implementing it but is probably busy with many other things right now, i just hope he will come back to it again before v9 is released hopefully even soon, i really love that speedy swift response the instant aliases bring along.

Yeah, it is far from being production-ready in its current state (at least on macOS).

Steve’s was out recently. He’ll definitely be back on this. I’ll go ahead and log these reports so we make sure they don’t slip through the cracks. RH-84757

thanks @Trav the issues are similar enough that they might envelope in fact the same issue, but to be sure if you could add a link to this description or topic either just in case.
