Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 108)

You can adjust the keyboard’s operation to your “touch” by setting the
delay before a character begins repeating when a key is held down. You
can also turn off the key repeat feature entirely.
The delay setting you choose in the Apple IIe Option Panel is in effect
only while the computer is in the Apple IIe environment. When you
switch to the Macintosh environment, the delay is determined by the
delay setting in the Macintosh Keyboard control panel.
The delay setting in the Apple IIe General Controls panel is preset to the
delay setting in the Macintosh Keyboard control panel.
To set the delay until a character repeats when a key is held down, follow
these steps:
1. Press Control-
x-Esc.
The Option Panel appears, with the General Controls panel displayed.
The pointer changes to a crosshair when you place it in the General
Controls panel.
