Appendix F. Typematic rate
Typematic Command
Press the left <Ctrl> key, type “A”, enter the typematic value
The typematic value is determined from the following tables using the equation: Typematic Value = Rate value + Delay Value. Pick the desired rate in keys/sec. and the delay in milliseconds from tables below. Add the Rate Value and the Delay Value. The sum of these values is the typematic value to enter.
For example to use a Rate of 16.0 keys/sec. and a 500 millisecond delay, the Rate value = 7 and the Delay value = 32. Add 7 + 32 = 39. To set a typematic value of 16, press the left <Ctrl> key, type “A”, enter 39, and then press Enter.
