Section 10.14. Keyboard


10.14. Keyboard

Hold down any key on your PC's keyboard long enough, and you get a long string of repetitions. That's fine if you want to type, "No WAAAAAY!" or "You go, grrrrrl!" but not so fun if you find yourself accidentally typing lengthening wooooorrrrrrrrds.

The Speed tab of this dialog box (Figure 10-7) governs the key-repeating settings.

  • Repeat delay . This slider determines how long you must hold down the key before it starts repeating (to prevent triggering repetitions accidentally).

  • Repeat rate . The second slider governs how fast each key spits out letters once the spitting has begun.

After making these adjustments, click in the "Click here and hold down a key" test box to try out the new settings.
