i have an economical keyboard that is too fast
« on: November 23, 2009, 07:25:55 PM »
Hi,i have an economical keyboard that is too fast.
How to disable the autorepeat or how to increase the delay before keys start repeating?
In damn small linux i use the kbdrate command,but tinycore has not this command.
Also,Puppy linux has a pupx tool,to disable autorepeat.
Thank you for help me!

You could request an extension, or make one yourself.

Otherwise, I think there is usually a bios option for that.

In X you can use "xset".
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

usage:  xset [-display host:dpy] option ...
...
    To turn auto-repeat off or on:
   -r [keycode]        r off
    r [keycode]        r on
    r rate [delay [rate]]
...
    For status information:  q

So, "xset r off" to disable, "xset q" to check the state.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

It would have to be .xsession, since xset doesn't work outside of X.
.profile and bootlocal.sh both run before X
