Can key repeat be turned off ?

[hitsware]

Or at least slowed down ?
And
It seems like the minimize button on the windows
actually acts like close ?

[gerald_clark]

Just seems that way.
Right click or the desktop, select your window and click on the running program to pop it back up.

Hi hitsware
To turn off key repeat:

Code: [Select]

xset -rIf you don't have xset on your system, install one of the following:
Xorg-7.5-bin.tcz
Xorg-7.6-bin.tcz
Xlibs.tcz

Also check in your BIOS for key repeat.

Hi hitsware
To turn off key repeat:

Code: [Select]

xset -r

That works but doesn't seem to ' persist '

Hi hitsware
Maybe if you add that command to your  bootlocal.sh  file?

can't find it in bios

Some BIOS feature a "key repeat" option - but not all.

It's an X util, so it needs to run with X running.

Hi hitsware
I stand corrected, don't add the command to your bootlocal.sh file, instead execute:

Code: [Select]

echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/.X.d/repeatoff
echo "xset -r" >> ~/.X.d/repeatoff
chmod 775 ~/.X.d/repeatoffThat will create a script which runs the xset command every time the GUI starts.

Shouldn't that be:

Code: [Select]

echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/.X.d/repeatoff
 

[Rich]

Hi Juanito
Either way seems to work.

Depends on where you happen to be perched at the moment.

Hi gerald_clark

Depends on where you happen to be perched at the moment.

I don't think so. From  fs/binfmt_script.c  of the 3.0.3 Tinycore source:

Code: [Select]

        if ((bprm->buf[0] != '#') || (bprm->buf[1] != '!') ||
            (bprm->recursion_depth > BINPRM_MAX_RECURSION))
                return -ENOEXEC;This tests the first two characters to see if they are #!, if not, it exits.
A little further down in the code:

Code: [Select]

        for (cp = bprm->buf+2; (*cp == ' ') || (*cp == '\t'); cp++);
        if (*cp == '\0')
                return -ENOEXEC; /* No interpreter name found */
        i_name = cp;
The first line starts scanning one character past the #! (the bprm->buf+2 part) for the first character that is not a
space or a tab. If that character is not zero, i_name points to  /bin/sh.

Not the script, the redirection Consider if your current dir was /tmp.
