  1. How frequently is a key repeated when it is being held down?


    I am working on a website, and found some interesting results when holding down the Enter key with my focus on a button, causing it to trigger every time the Enter repeat was registered. I have not been able to find anywhere noting how frequently the button will be triggered this way. I appreciate any help!

    :)

  2. Repeating Keys don't repeat

    windows 10, Lenovo laptop yoga.

    For one logon the repeating keys ( Backspace and Space) do not repeat when held down. The On-screen touchscreen keys do repeat correctly. Repeating keys work correctly with any other logon.

    No extra hardware on machine.

  3. When held down, the Ctrl key rapidly repeats

    With the last two versions of Windows 10 pro, my ctrl key cannot be held down without the result rapidly repeating. This is evidenced by a circle on the screen which appears to be blinking really fast. Normally the ctrl key would indicate where the mouse
    is. It still does, but cannot be used as a selection tool. I have been able to get some relief by setting the sticky keys to "ON", but not allowing the shortcut key to start Sticky keys,

    Toggle keys is left on.

    I would like a way to resolve this back to the way it worked before.

    Thanks in advance.
