Table of contents

Console

To set the keyboard repeat rate on the console use:

kbdrate -r 10.9 -d 250

r is the number of characters per second and d specifies the delay in microseconds until repetition occurs.

xset r rate 400 30

The first value (400) is the delay, the second value is the repeat rate.
