Thanks for the input all. Sounds like I'm seeing the same things as others. I'm on FM9 and don't have the character or para designer open, but I do have structure, cross-ref, attributes, etc. open (and they need to be...). Sure enough, 2 of my 4 CPUs are pinned as I backspace through an element's text. Sigh. It routinely misses some keystrokes and I end up deleting a lot more that I want to since the key repeats get backed up for up to 3 or 4 seconds.
I haven't used anything other than frame to author DITA content. Is there another program that provides a semi-WYSIWYG interface for creating DITA content, that's more responsive? -----Original Message----- From: Klaus Daube [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: April-30-11 10:44 AM To: Alex Escott; [email protected] Subject: Re: Key Repeat rate?

Any way to fix this? Alex, Your observation depends on the version of FM. Until version 7 the key-repeat rate was quite the same as in other applications. - If you have the pargraph designer or character designer open in FM 8 the rate becomes low. - If you have any pod open in FM 9/10 the rate becomes very low With the low rates - and if you _are_ a typist - characters may be spilled. These are _my_ observations. Others may have others.
