Lagging response from homerow movement keys in visual mode - vim

Question

When I use the hjkl movement keys (hnei for me, as I've mapped these keys to work with the colemak layout) in normal mode, they move perfectly fine without any noticeable delay. However, in visual mode, the key corresponding to moving right ("i" for me), causes a really annoying lag. I have a feeling that one of the plugins I installed may have mapped a command to be a combination of "i" and another key, but I can't find it anywhere. Why is this lag happening? More specifically, am I missing something in my vimrc or plugins that may be conflicting with my movement mappings?

Answer 1

:verbose vmap i
will tell you all visual mode mappings starting with i (and where it got defined, so you can identify the plugin). As most "inner" text objects start with i and are also available in visual mode, this conflict is indeed likely.
