Solve : Keyboard Repeat Lock? |
|
Answer» I inadvertently alowed my Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 to prevent repeating a KEY until I wait 8 to 10 seconds (for example "good" comes out "god") How can I disable this and type normaly? (Note the single "l")Have you asked God ? ? Have you asked God ? ? Failing that some BIOSes allow you to modify it too..

Multiple KEYSTROKES of the same letter are ignored- as they demonstrate, they type good but it comes out god. Now, I don't know about you two, but most people type, even with words that have repeated characters, by lifting their finger off the key and then pressing it again. Typematic rate and delay only apply for keys that you hold down. You don't press G, hold down O until it repeats once, and then press D. (I SURE hope you don't). However, it might not be a setting in the Intellitype software(not sure, I haven't used intellitype in years)- Either way, a possible setting is in fact the filterkeys accessibility tool. I'd also check any installed keyboard software (such as of course, intellitype) and see if a setting hasn't been changed there. (again, I'm not much use here since I haven't used Intellitype since it ran on windows 98) Disable/change filterkeys: XP: Control Panel->Accessibility Options either uncheck "use filter keys" or you can change the settings for filterkeys to reduce the amount of time it ignores them. (although it only goes to 2 seconds...). the shortcut for disabling enabling is to hold the right shift key for eight seconds. Another OPTION: if that is not already enabled, it's probably intellitype; in that case I haven't a clue how to enable/disable to appropriate option. Unless you use specific features of intellitype, though, you might WANT to consider reinstalling it (which will hopefully restore defaults) or even uninstalling it entirely- it's not necessary to use your keyboard.

Okay I was under the impression that it also measured the delay between the same key being pressed again. The Op has enough information to solve the problem, it would be nice to have a progress report |
