When I hold C-p or C-n to navigate any page, the movement is jerky and I get multiple Quit messages in my *Messages* buffer.

I checked the C-h l to see the commands ran, it only has the C-n [next-line] I expect.

This does not happen in Org mode, but it happens in many of the programming modes. For example, in YAML mode, it happens.

Here is my list of all active modes where this is happening.

Enabled minor modes: Ansible Ansible-Doc Async-Bytecomp-Package Auto-Composition Auto-Compression Auto-Encryption Clean-Aindent Column-Number Delete-Selection Diff-Auto-Refine Discover Display-Time Electric-Indent Emojify File-Name-Shadow Flycheck Flycheck-Pos-Tip Flyspell Font-Lock Gdb-Many-Windows Global-Auto-Complete Global-Auto-Revert Global-Discover Global-Eldoc Global-Emojify Global-Flycheck Global-Font-Lock Global-Git-Commit Global-Hl-Line Global-Magit-File Global-Pointback Global-Semantic-Idle-Scheduler Global-Semanticdb Global-Smart-Shift Global-Smart-Tab Global-Undo-Tree Golden-Ratio Goto-Address Helm Helm-Autoresize Highlight-Indentation Keyfreq Keyfreq-Autosave Line-Number Magit-Auto-Revert Magit-File Mouse-Wheel Nyan Override-Global Persistent-Scratch-Autosave Pointback Projectile Pyvenv Recentf Semantic Shell-Dirtrack Simpleclip Size-Indication Smart-Shift Smart-Tab Tooltip Transient-Mark Undo-Tree Volatile-Highlights Which-Key Winner Yas Yas-Global

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Using M-x toggle-debug-on-quit gave me this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
redisplay_internal\ \(C\ function\)()

I have shared my full init.el here - https://gist.github.com/darshanime/c65b4bb318db722a66b42753f1bc4041

  • Try typing: M-x toggle-debug-on-quit and then go about your business. Emacs should generate a backtrace automatically the next time a quit signal occurs. Then, please edit your question with the output of the backtrace. – lawlist Dec 25 '18 at 16:50

    Start Emacs with emacs -Q and see if you can reproduce the problem. If you can then simplify your report here, providing a step-by-step recipe (from emacs -Q), saying what you see at each step and what you expected to see. If you cannot, then bisect your init file to find the culprit. No need to show us a long list of modes where this happens - just show a recipe for one such mode (e.g. YAML). What's important is to simplify/narrow the test space and provide a recipe. – Drew Dec 25 '18 at 17:08
  • You can also show the message that is printed. And you can check what command C-n is bound to when this happens. You can also use M-x debug-on-entry COMMAND, where COMMAND is the command bound to C-n (assuming that the message came from using C-n) - then step through the debugger, to see just what happens. But even if you decide to do this, start by simplifying the test space - start Emacs with emacs -Q etc. – Drew Dec 25 '18 at 17:51
  • It doesn't happen with emacs -Q. I have added the toggle-debug-on-quit output as well. – Darshan Chaudhary Dec 26 '18 at 3:47
