Typematic Rate Setting [Disabled]
Disabling the Typematic Rate Setting configuration option only allows one character to
appear onto the screen if a key is continuously held down. In other words, the BIOS will
only report the key is down. When this option is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but
it will then wait a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin to report that the key has
been depressed repeatedly. Such a feature would be used to accelerate cursor
movements with the arrow keys.
