The tool allows you to set various options for x server. Key repeat frequency is one of those.</p> <p>Just execute this in your terminal <code>xset r rate 220 25</code> and you will immediately see the effect. Find the best parameters for you and then add this line to your <code>rc.lua</code> (if you don&rsquo;t know where to add it just add it to the bottom):</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-lua" data-lang="lua"><span style="display:flex;"><span>os.execute(<span style="color:#e6db74">&#34;xset r rate 220 25&#34;</span>) </span></span></code></pre></div><br/> <p>&lt;3</p>
