J and K are very slow

[sin2384]

Hi, this is something I'm looking for a long time! Great plugin, and thank you for you work!
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, installed liblua5.1-0, and already had xdotools.
The problem is - j and k are much slower than arrows. Any ideas why is this happening, and how to fix it?

I have never had this problem in my host Ubuntu, but I had observed similar behavior (laggy xdotool calls) in my Xubuntu guest in VirtualBox. But just today I've updated VirtualBox to the latest version and the problem seems to be gone... Anyway, I hope DC developers will expand the API to provide cursor movements (I made a request at DC discussion board). Incidentally, this will solve another issue - if you press j or k without releasing the key, you'd expect cursor to repeatedly move, but for some reason that doesn't happen - even though the Lua script itself is repeatedly called, the xdotool-calling function within it triggers only on the first call (although the behavior is normal in MS Windows version of dcvim).

Thanks for getting back to me. I use Ubuntu directly, without VirtualBox. Let's hope this issue can be resolved in the future because these are all amazing features that I really want...
