[OS X Emacs] sometimes i can't type

[Tom Van Vleck]

I think it is after I have paused slightly.. about how long are
these idle times? I looked at timer-list and have a question:
Documentation says they are in order of increasing time..

timer-list is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.
Its value is
([nil 25589 4345 392338 nil undo-auto--boundary-timer nil nil 0]
 [nil 25589 4535 351824 300 savehist-autosave nil nil 24603]
 [nil 25592 64633 372793 259200 purge-session-and-auto-save-files nil nil 0])
which element is the time?  I looked again and saw

timer-list is a variable defined in ‘keyboard.c’.
Its value is
([nil 25589 4654 438418 nil undo-auto--boundary-timer nil nil 0]
 [nil 25589 4835 351824 300 savehist-autosave nil nil 24603]
 [nil 25592 64633 372793 259200 purge-session-and-auto-save-files nil nil 0])
so i guess the time is the second or third element, because they increase.
