When using a TTY login shell by entering e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1 on Debian Jessie. There is an inhuman fast delay, specifically, these values are set (250ms): root@VB-NB-Debian:~# kbdrate Typematic Rate set to 10.9 cps (delay = 250 ms) vlastimil@VB-NB-Debian:~$ sudo kbdrate Typematic Rate set to 10.9 cps (delay = 250 ms) I don't understand, since I have a "normal" 810ms set in my KDE system. Still, in Xterm the kbdrate says I have a delay of 250ms set. Anyway, this is not the point. I need to permanently change the delay for all TTYs. Can you help me with that? I found this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/58651/adjusting-keyboard-sensitivity-in-a-command-line-terminal but it doesn't guide me. What exactly shall I do? So, the question is, how to set the delay (not interested in the rate) once and for all?
