Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux i had to switch from gnome3 (damn, that hurts!), and one of the annoyances is that i can't set a fast enough key repeat rate. i don't remember the settings from gnome, but mine was at least 20-30% faster than kde's maximum of 50/sec. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: the best would be to avoid any random constraints when the numbers are input with the box (as opposed to using the slider).

Damn, this is so annoying. Why is this taking 10 years to implement? To add insult to injury, KDE 5.21 totally broke my "workaround". I used to have a script executing "xset r rate" in my autostarts, but now it seems the keyboard daemon service takes precedence / applies the value set with the slider periodically, so I CANNOT USE MY COMPUTER AT ALL ANYMORE. Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please fix this ASAP. THANK YOU
>so I CANNOT USE MY COMPUTER AT ALL ANYMORE. Please don't be unnecessarily dramatic.

>Please don't be unnecessarily dramatic. I am not, really. Have you tried using the same keyboard repeat rate for a decade on all your machines and then having it changed with an update all of a sudden? This broke my workflow.
