But is there a way to shut off character repeat altogether, so that if you press and hold a key, you get only <em>one</em> character? post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77389 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:03:55 -0800 Cool Papa Bell windows character repeat keyboard http://ask.metafilter.com/77389/Is-there-a-way-to-set-the-keyboard-character-repeat-rate-to-zero-in-Windows#1149585 Control panel: Accessibility Options|Check "Filter Keys"|Filter Settings|Ignore repeated keystrokes|OK|OK comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77389-1149585 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:55:19 -0800 orthogonality http://ask.metafilter.com/77389/Is-there-a-way-to-set-the-keyboard-character-repeat-rate-to-zero-in-Windows#1149595 You rock, sir.
