Turning off key repeat.

[t.rei]

Hello.

I can't seem to find an option to turn off keyrepeat in kde4.

I need to turn it off for some games and apps in wine that go crazy on key repeats.

Any help would be great - a commandline option would be perfect. :)

thanks.

System Settings > Keyboard and Mouse > uncheck Enable Keyboard Repeat.


xset -r off may also work.

Running Jaunty there is no such option for me. That however is the location I looked first and again and again not trusting my eyes.

*edit* it works! Thanks alot. I hope the options to tinker with the rate get added soon. Or is it 'relatively' ok to upgrade to karmic?

Sad thing: this is a rather fresh install with not much tinkered with, that should cause problems like this.

I can turn keyrepeat off by using gnome-keyboard-settings, but this causes the gnome-settings-daemin to run, thus messing up all my font settings. (all fonts way too small, even the kde4 apps, and not reating to change in the settings.)

thanks.

It's a X.org bug, known, and hopefully a fix is on it's way. yay.

Now to get wine to accept all my mouse Buttons on my MX Revolution (wheel tilt at last)


Just confirmed in current git.
I'm not in the position to increase this bugs Priority, but IMO it should be
changed to high. This is now hitting mainstream distributions (eg Ubuntu 9.04)
and quite some apps may be affected, possibly in some subtle ways.
The problem is understood and Daniel seems to have a fix in his repo, so I hope
this will be resolved soon.

Have a KVM combining two Ubuntu and two Windows machines. When I start the 9.04 machinee it turns on the keyboard's auto repeateeee att a fast rate. The rrepeatts then happen on all the machines.

I can see the tech news headliine now.
