            Bug ID: 234196
           Summary: Default keyboard repeat delay too quick
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: deepbluemistake@gmail.com

In the default terminal (I can't tell whether this is vt or syscons, please
help me if you need that info) the default delay before key repeat is far t=
oo
small.
Normally I type fast enough to not be affected, but occasionally I am.  Thi=
s is
most noticeable when typing a password slowly: keys get repeated even there.
They key delay in xterm is alright, and the key delay (in vt or syscons) af=
ter
setting kbdcontrol -r normal is alright, too.
But the current key repeat delay most resembles kbdcontrol -r fast (or maybe
even faster than that!)

The key repeat speed is fine, but the default delay is unreasonably small, =
and
could be changed.  People who want it to be really fast could switch back,
themselves.  But as it is now, it sometimes hampers inputting passwords, and
provides no benefit.
