From ed76776866eb06a94b338443878fbcbcacbeed06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Nehrke Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 14:10:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Set timeout to repeat input on key-press to 250ms I struggled to distinguish between a simple key-stroke and a pressed key, which should lead to repeat inputs. Initially I copied this value from my macos-settings where I use the same keyboard, but it turns out that the timing is somehow different. Remember set this to 200ms on macos and 250ms on X11. Note, I have no idea which one is more accurate, but since everything on a mac feels (and is) slow I would guess linux is correct and apple lies. --- .config/i3/config | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/.config/i3/config b/.config/i3/config index 56af097..9c7a132 100644 --- a/.config/i3/config +++ b/.config/i3/config @@ -105,7 +105,7 @@ exec_always --no-startup-id compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf -b # switch to screensaver after 1 hour w/o interaction exec xset s 3600 3600 # set a blazing fast keyboard repeat rate, and make it happen more quickly (defaults: 660/25) -exec xset r rate 200 100 +exec xset r rate 250 100 # }}}
