| 2026-03-12 03:15:05 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> So, for some reason, my laptop's built-in keyboard has stopped doing key-repeat. No matter how much I hold down a key, Linux only ever registers it a single time. |
| 2026-03-12 03:15:08 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | Is there something wrong with my laptop and/or my Linux settings? |
| 2026-03-12 03:33:34 +0100 | <geekosaur> | try: xset r on |
| 2026-03-12 03:33:59 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (or "xset q" to see what the settings including key repeat settings are) |
| 2026-03-12 03:43:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's also possible that the repeat delay is set really high (like, minutes or even hours) or that the repeat mask has been cleared somehow (all 0s in "auto repeating keys", which is likely to be rather difficult to fix) |
| 2026-03-12 03:58:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (fwiw the repeat delay is in ms. if it somehoww got set to MAX_INT, that's around 23 days) |
| 2026-03-12 03:58:20 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (if I got the math right) |
