Key Repeat Delay
When you hold down a key that repeats, there
is
a delay before the key begins
repeating. To increase this delay, drag the arrow on the slider labeled Key Repeat
Delay to the right. To decrease the delay, drag the arrow to the left.
Warning:
Be
aware that it
is
possible to set the key repeat too fast, since the
display takes a finite amount
of
time to update.
Mouse Speed
The three settings for mouse speed let you change how far the Pointer moves
when you move the mouse. The settings
1,2,
and 4 are the number
of
inches you
move the mouse to move the Pointer roughly a third
of
the way across the
display. The larger the number, the more room you need for the mouse.
Double-Click Delay
You use the Double-Click Slider to set the maximum length
of
time between the
two clicks
of
a double-click. Drag the arrow down to increase the maximum
length
of
time. Drag the arrow up to decrease the maximum time.
Text Size
To make the best use
of
your monitor, you can choose the size
of
the characters
that appear on the display. Most NTSC monitors and televisions can show 60
characters clearly on each line
of
the display, while RGB monitors can display 80
characters clearly.
If you have an NTSC monitor or television connected to the
Amiga, select the gadget labeled 60 to the right
of
the word Text. If you have
an
RGB monitor connected to the Amiga, select the gadget labeled 80.
