I didn't mention the Ctrl key at all. I am talking about only the Backspace.Ctrl+Backspace deletes one word at a time in most text editors...
I don't care. I prefer to take the risk. If I will do this action wrongly and make windows 10 malfunction, I will uninstall it and reinstall windows 7.pressing the [backspace] key and holding it down are two different actions on windows systems... hacking the system timing with regedit is not going to end well.
Thank you! I was looking for this answer! I changed the registry and liked your reply, but I can't neither restart nor log out, because my computer is doing work currently and I can't stop it. I will let you know later if it works or not. If it will, then your reply is the Best Answer.The keyboard delays are controlled at the following keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
Under the Keyboard Response key change flags to 59 and then you can adjust the settings. Logout and back in and it should be faster once you change the repeat rate.
You already said that:You have to logout for it to take affect. All the other settings are in ms. I couldn't tell you why flags needs to 59 but it does. You will want to make AutoRepeatRate lower to speed it up. The default 500 means it will repeat every 500ms.
Thanks for your reply. I also have these two settings, but it seems that they are ignored, i.e. no matter where I track the button from Long to Short and from Short to Long, and from Slow to Fast and from Fast to Slow, they doesn't affect my keyboard at all and this is my true problem.Hi
On my computer opening Keyboard Properties in Control Panel give me a tab labeled Speed.
It has sliders for Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate.
Setting the Repeat Rate to Fast makes using the backspace key go really quickly on my computer.
Changing the Repeat Delay slows the interval between the first and second keystroke.
I have both set to fast because of Gaming were I want to be able to repeat keys very quickly.
