All Devices — Repeating Keys

Keystroke repeats might appear more frequently when using the "Open in New Window" feature. They are caused by latency. If you experience excessive lag, disable "Repeat Keys" as follows:

Windows

Go to Control panel > Keyboard to throttle repeat keys. Set the delay to as long as possible and leave the repeat semi-slow.

Mac OSX

Go to Settings > Keyboard and adjust the "Key Repeat" and "Delay until Repeat" settings until the problem is resolved or minimized. If you have an older version of MacOS, you may have to upgrade to change these settings.

Ubuntu Linux

Open the "Activities" overview, start typing Universal Access, click on Universal Access to open the panel, and (on the Keys tab) adjust the settings (and sliders, where applicable) for Sticky Keys, Slow Keys, and Bounce Keys to suitable levels.

Please note that the Keys tab may be called Typing tab (or some other variation) depending on the Windows or Ubuntu version.

Other Linux

Disable "Repeat Keys" or tune the threshold for repeat to much higher than the default.
