   #AskFedi in #Ubuntu 22.04 I have this ultra annoying thing with character selection, where there's an accelerator to how fast it selects chars. (Same annoying thing you have on some #Android devices when you hold Delete and suddenly all text is deleted in one fell swoop)

   Anyone know how to disable that?

   #Gnome Tweaks doesn't have a setting, regular Settings neither. And I don't even know the name of this 'feature' to search on it on the web..

     Thank you! ?

     Knowing the name I could find it in Settings / Accessibility / Repeat Keys.

     Though after some tweaking it is still not what I am used to from my old laptop (there's some overshooting still), it is much better than the default settings.

     @Humane Tech Now In BIOSes it had been called Keyboard repeat delay (delay to next keypress) and Keyboard repeat rate (ammount of characters typed when key is being hold longer).
     
     In X11 it is set in xorg.conf
     
     Section "InputClass"
             Identifier "system-keyboard"
             MatchIsKeyboard "on"
             # Option "XkbLayout"  set in /etc/default/keyboard
             # Option "XkbOptions" ditto
             Option "AutoRepeat" "250 50"
     EndSection
     
     Or wth
     
     xset r rate 250 50
