Keyboard & Wheel
You can set how your keyboard and wheel respond to your touch:
•
Keyboard repeat delay
- If you hold down a key long enough, it will start repeating in your text box. This
setting determines how long you must hold down a key before it starts repeating.
•
Keyboard repeat rate
- Once you’ve held down a key long enough so it starts repeating, this setting
