I should clarify that I am referring to the key repeat DELAY, not RATE. Rate may also reset, but I don't change it so I don't know.

Please test both X11/Wayland

Hi, I actually figured out a solution. It appears that this issue is caused by Manjaro and not KDE. With Manjaro KDE, there are 3 places to change key repeat delay, and only one of them persists in between sessions.

In the Settings there is:
-Keyboard Settings under the Manjaro section
-Keyboard under the Input Devices section

In the Manjaro Settings Manager, there is another Keyboard option underneath the Hardware section.

The only one that persists in between sessions is the Keyboard under the Input Devices section.

I will be notifying Manjaro developers about this issue.
