Typematic Rate Setting [Disabled]
Disabling the Typematic Rate Setting configuration option only allows one character to appear
onto the screen if a key is continuously held down. In other words, the BIOS will only report the key
is down. When this option is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a moment,
and, if the key is still down, it will begin to report that the key has been depressed repeatedly. Such
a feature would be used to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Disabled (D
EFAULT
)
Disables the typematic rate
Enabled
Enables the typematic rate
x Typematic Rate (Chars/sec) [6]
The Typematic Rate can only be configured if the Typematic Rate Setting is Enabled. The
