> or offer a checkbox to simply say use the BIOS settings That's bug 218734 and fixed in KDE 4.7. As Christoph noted above leaving default keyboard settings has been implemented in 218734. Marking as dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 218734 *** Bug 218734 only helps when the BIOS actually has a repeat delay setting. For the many BIOS that don't, which seems to be more and more common than it was over a decade ago (I just tested 3 systems, and only one offers it), the delay still needs to be a multiple of 50. It remains impossible to achieve a multiple of 50 in systemsettings without first moving the slider all the way to one end, typing in the number, or waiting on the scroller to get to one end and then back to the desired rate. Simply changing the default from 660 to 650 would get the job done, probably very simply. Trinity users got this: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1349 With the new keyboard configuration module in Plasma version 6.1, the default is set to 600 ms (a multiple of 50), and the spinbox that can be used to alter this value has a step size of 50, so it is easy to keep things in multiples of 50. (The same seems to be true in my version of Plasma 5.27, so I assume this was fixed at an earlier time) If you feel this does not adequately address this issue, please feel free to reopen this bug. |
