Delay using intellij...beginner's problem?

Answered

Hello forum--downloaded intellij onto my MacBook Pro with High Sierra, bought two months ago. When I open a new java class file, or even open an old one, I can't just start redacting the document. Instead of a live cursor, I get a solid blinking cursor, and when I type, I just get error beeps. If I type over and over to see how the program reacts, it overwrites the old code and THEN goes live. It's not a deal breaker, but is there something I need to do so I can actually code right away? Thanks!

Check that you do not have Tools | Vim Emulator mode enabled.

Thanks Andrey! Perfect, appreciate it.

Is there a way to use the program with the VIM emulator on? Just curious.

With this mode enabled it should give you very close experience of the VIM editor, see Using IntelliJ IDEA as the Vim Editor. Are there any issues with it?
