Repeat function
The repeat function allows you to type the same characters many times by just
holding down the corresponding character key. This is useful, for example,
when you want to separate two parts of the text with aline made of (hyphens).
To type a character repeatedly, hold down the corresponding key. The
character will be printed once, then the machine will wait a short time (half a
second) and then print the same character repeatedly until you release the key.
The short delay is provided to prevent accidental repetition of the same
character when you want it to be printed only once.
