variable key_hold_press

(1/1)

qalnor:
I like the flexibility this feature gives you, because some keyboards have annoying qualities which makes this helpful.However, one suggestion I would make is that you implement a second key_hold variable which would determine the length of time for iterations of the character beyond the second. By this I mean if you were to press the right arrow key and hold it, it would wait key_hold_press ms for the second iteration of the key, but for further iterations it would only wait key_hold_press2.This would allow for quick scrolling, and perhaps some other things I can't think of.Another alternative to this would be to just make the navigation keys have their own variable ie arrow_key_hold. This would only address the arrow keys, and that's all I can think of that it would be relevent for so this may be preferable.
