> I can confirm that toggling repeat keys off and on again fixes the issue temporarily for the current session.
Also changing the repeat speed. It would be nice if this toggling would be possible from CLI. This way I wouldn't have to go in the settings every time my computer woke up from sleep. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427168 Title: usb keyboard settings (repeat rate and delay) reset on plugin Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I like a fairly fast repeat rate and low delay when typing. In the course of using my laptop (Dell Vostro 1500), I sometimes plug in a USB keyboard. Every time I do this, I notice that the repeat rate and delay on the USB keyboard are way slow and high, while the built-in keyboard repeat rate and delay are as I like them (fast and low). To fix this, every time I plug in the USB keyboard, I have to go to System→Preferences→Keyboard, slightly move the Speed slider, then Close the dialog. (Note that the sliders haven't changed from the last invocation of this application, just that the settings apparently need to be reapplied internally.) I believe that at least these keyboard settings (repeat rate and delay) should be universal for all keyboards. Repeatable: always. How to reproduce: 1. plug in a USB keyboard 2. Note current repeat-rate and delay. 3. Change repeat-rate and delay via System->Preferences->Keyboard 4. Unplug and re-plugin the USB keyboard. 5. Return to step 2.
