PR 1.2 hardware keyboard long-press and vi

2010-06-07 Thread Marius Gedminas
PR 1.2 makes a long press of a hardware key enter the Fn-shifted
character displayed on the key.  Well, what it actually does, is enter
the normal character, followed by Backspace, followed by the Fn-shifted
character.  This doesn't work well with vi, which interprets every
character as a separate command.

Is there a way to disable this feature and return the regular key
autorepeat?

There is an almost obvious extension of interfaces that would allow formal
specification of arguments and return values.  We suspect it leads to the dark
side.
