I do not agree, for me it is not easy to follow smooth scrolling in a source 
editor. I like to scroll a page minus one line, then I scan the mew page as a 
whole or top down or bottom up, press PageDown/PageUp or move the mouse wheel 
a tick with 'Project'-'Options'-'Editor'-'Scroll height' at "-1" and continue 
scanning at the still visible last line which always is at the same screen 
position. IMHO the key repeat frequency for edit keys should be constant and 
the same for all keys. The Up/Down keys which move the caret are edit keys 
for me. May be the Ctrl+Up/Down key function frequency could be made dynamic 
altough I don't like the limited control one has over self repeat 
accelerating key functions. A wheel is much better.
All is my personal preference of course.

trepeater is intended for such tasks. tcustomgrid already has a timer for 
repeating tasks, it has been introduced before trepeater existed.
