SUMMARY The key repeat speed is reset upon logging out or closing my laptop lid. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change key repeat speed from default (600) 2. Log out or close laptop 3. Log back in OBSERVED RESULT Key repeat speed is back at 600 EXPECTED RESULT Key repeat speed should be whatever I changed it to. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue is also present on my desktop, only when logging out (or restarting, which implies a logout.) Both of these computers experience this issue on a completely fresh install.
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.
