<title>Turn off repeated key presses</title>
37
<p>By default, when you hold down a key on your keyboard, the letter
38
or symbol will be repeated until you release the key. If you have
39
difficulty picking your finger back up quickly enough, you can
40
disable this feature, or change how long it takes before key presses
45
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview and
46
start typing <gui>Keyboard</gui>.</p>
49
<p>Click on <gui>Keyboard</gui> to open the panel.</p>
52
<p>Turn off <gui>Key presses repeat when key is held down</gui> to disable
53
repeated keys entirely.</p>
54
<p>Alternatively, adjust the <gui>Delay</gui> slider to control how long
55
you have to hold a key down to begin repeating it, and adjust the
56
<gui>Speed</gui> slider to control how quickly key presses repeat.</p>
