- Eliminated a polling loop which caused reduced battery life on laptops when Atom was open in an idle state.
- Key binding matches are no longer delayed when longer partially-matching multi-stroke bindings are mapped to unset!.
- When multi-keystroke bindings containing printable characters fail to match, those characters are now inserted into the editor. This will enable bindings like j j for exiting insert mode to work correctly in the vim-mode package.
