More control over key repeat timings
« on: August 21, 2006, 05:34:00 pm »

The current HOLD_MS helps with removing the unwanted repeats, but it is a delay between *each* repeat then.  When I set it to 220, it fixes the unwanted repeat, but then scrolling across the map/through menus became 50% slower  :(   This makes the [d]esignate especially painful.

So, if feasible, I propose expanding the init file control over repeat:

KEY_HOLD_MS - delay before held key first triggers repeating
KEY_REPEAT_INTERVAL_MS - after 1st key hold time is satisfied, this is the "repeat rate" in ms basically.

It'd be nice if there were seperate settings for scrolling around on the map/while designating and in menus, as well.
