Keyboard Repeat Under Wayland in KDE
Hi, I am having an issue at the moment in Eclipse and Konsole and when composing this message in Thunderbird, in KDE with Wayland, where when I press the enter key it randomly inputs Enter twice. This issue doesn't happen in KDE with Xorg, but at the moment that combination is unstable (KDE keeps crashing). I have tried increasing the key repeat delay to 1000, but that has made no difference. I have increased the delay to 2000, but haven't tested that yet. Can anyone suggest what I can look at to remedy this situation beside turning off the key repeat? regards, Steve OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Re: Keyboard repeat
You aren't using something like VNC are you? VNC (and some other remote viewers) seem to disable repeats simply because something about the key-up seems to be unreliable for that setup (even under Windows). I know some vendors Web Remote Consoles do not disable key repeats and should (repeats happen at random all of the time).

Keyboard repeat
Hi, I have a problem with the keyboard, once in while the key I press start repeating even after a short press and doesn't stop until I press another key. I had to disable the key repeat (not optimal) as it was disrupting my work. This is going on for months, I waited for several updates to see if thing got better but to no avail. My setup is a Laptop Dell G15 F38 with KDE(both X11 and Wayland). Is there something I can try to fix this?
