Bug ID: 430062
Summary: New key-held options need to default to repeat for
backward compatibility
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: 1i5t5.dun...@cox.net
Target Milestone: ---
On live-git the new key-held option needs a default other than do-nothing.
Repeat is certainly my preferred option (en-US where accents are commonly
viewed as "those funny foreign things"), but show-accented/similar may be
preferable in some locales and at least would make obvious that the behavior
changed, not simply broke, hopefully prompting people to go look for the
setting if they want the old repeat behavior, as I did.
Alternatively, an auto-update to port the old config to the new would be
helpful.
Additionally, at least on wayland which I'm running by default now, changing
the option in the kcm doesn't take effect immediately. I had to quit
kde/plasma back to the CLI prompt (no *DM, I run a kde starter script from a
CLI login) and restart it to get the new setting to take effect. That may be
acceptable for some things, but IMO not so much for keyboard settings like
repeat.
Otherwise this thing's going to be a bug generator for sure!
