Good night,
There doesn't seem to be a KDE System Settings applet for the keyboard repeat delay/rate. Repeat kicks in pretty late, takes about a second or more.
(There's System Settings->Input Actions, which lets me edit whatever shortcuts I set up via the menu editor, and possibly add new groups of shortcuts.
Then there's System Settings->Keyboard & Mouse, with Standard Keyboard Shortcuts and Global Keyboard Shortcuts. Global Keyboard Shortcuts, under KDE componenet: khotkeys, lets me edit the menu editor shortcuts again (but not add new ones and there're reams of useless KDE 3 leftover (?) entries like "K Menu - renoise.desktop", often with five additional duplicates, that I can neither remove nor assign working shortcuts to.)
Different topic.)
(This has nothing to do with the Accessibility options. At least... I've turned all of them off.)
There's a minimally-clued keyboard layout editor under System Settings->Regional & Language... but I'd rather have that set up system-wide, not just for KDE. I have a custom keyboard layout, too, but I don't know if it's still workable. The directory for it has vanished (/etc/X11/xkb/symbols, IIRC).
What happened to the InputDevice sections in xorg.conf, anyway? Am I not supposed to use them anymore?
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
# Driver "kbd"
# Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
#EndSection
I found a file /etc/kbd/config and uncommented
KEYBOARD_RATE="30"
KEYBOARD_DELAY="250"
But nothing changed (after restarting X). At this point I'm confused as to what's doing what and how it connects (much like power management...)
