If a preceding dash or the 'off' flag is used, autorepeat will be disabled. If no parameters or the 'on' flag is used, autorepeat will be enabled. If a specific keycode is specified as a parameter, autorepeat for that keycode is enabled or disabled. If the server supports the XFree86-Misc extension, or the XKB exten- sion, then a parameter of 'rate' is accepted and should be fol- lowed by zero, one or two numeric values. The first specifies the delay before autorepeat starts and the second specifies the repeat rate. In the case that the server supports the XKB extension, the delay is the number of milliseconds before autorepeat starts, and the rate is the number of repeats per second. If the rate or delay is not given, it will be set to the default value. ...so delay of 350 ms & 30 repeats/s, for all the keys, will be set as... xset r rate 350 30 - parv --
