How can I increase Emacs key repeat rate in OS X Mountain Lion
- by Rob Jones
Emacs does not seem to respect the OS's key repeat rate. I'm using emacs in the terminal. I've set the repeat rate to as fast as possible by directly editing the settings in the following file (I restarted after making the change):
open ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
The rest of the system observes the repeat rate. The terminal works as expected, as does vim. But, when I use emacs I still get the annoyingly slow repeat rate.
