Adjusting keyboard operation
You can adjust how rapidly a character repeats when a key is held down, as
well as the delay before the character begins repeating. You make these
adjustments in the Keyboard section of the Control Panel. Holding down most
keys on the Macintosh keyboard causes a character to appear repeatedly on the
screen until you release the key. You can adjust the rate of repetition by
using the following procedure.
