Here’s two ways to adjust your keyboard rate:
xset r rate 200 30
kbdrate -d 250 -r 30
I use xset
since on Intel systems the delay usingkbdrate
must be between 250ms and 1000ms.
I also put that line in my .xinitrc
so that it is set correctly at the start of each X session, though when I update my system without restarting I always have to source .xinitrc
, so maybe there’s a better way.
