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. The fact that xev isn't affected by this suggests some type of macro in the key interpretation chain, as I think that xev gets raw keycodes directly from the kernel. Do you have any kind of desktop assistant that would create macros installed? Something that would monitor all your keystrokes, looking for shortcuts that would do things for you. I checked the keymappings in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pt, but it inherits the slash from latin(type4), and I couldn't find that. That is unlikely to be the cause. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
