macOS: keyboard repeat
β’ 85 words β’ 1 min β’ updated
Run:
shell
defaults write NSGlobalDomain InitialKeyRepeat -int 10
defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 1…to configure the macOS keyboard repeat behavior for significantly faster responsiveness.
- InitialKeyRepeat -int 10 β Sets the delay before a held key starts repeating (lower -> faster). Default is 15.
- KeyRepeat -int 1 β Sets the repeat rate once a key is held (lower -> faster). Default is 2.
Together, they make the keyboard feel snappier with minimal delay before repeat and faster repetition speed.
Should have done that ages ago!
