Hey Tony, I had replied to your query Sunday ;-) You can use the same instructions for one key as I sent you for pasting Happy Birthday To You all down the page. Type 1, then select it (highlight), use Command-C (to copy), then Command-V (to paste) and it will paste until you release the Command-V keys You can use which ever way suits you.

Re: Single Key Repeating.
Hello Ronni I know that you are very busy so I thought I'd just put it out to the group. With the single key Ronni, I had it set up so that every time I pushed down on 1 key and kept my finger on it, the key would just repeat, I used it for x or ii. Then for some reason it stopped working. When you first helped Ronni, a while ago, I took notes on repeating Birthday Wishes etc, and continue to use it, thank you. I thought ( dangerous I know) that I had set up something to allow me to repeat a letter just by holding a key down, nothing else, a puzzle that I am sure I'll work out at some stage, until then I will use the FN key as you suggest.

So for example if you press and hold o, a mini popup should appear with special öő characters. It's like that because it now allows a shortcut to diacritical marks. You used to be able to disable this feature and restore repeating alphabetic characters by typing the following command in Terminal: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false But that no longer works in Yosemite. I find the new functionality for diacritical marks useful and can't ever remember having a need to type a long string of a single alpha character.

Re: Single Key Repeating.
Hi Tony, Apple removed the Single Key Repeating 'feature' because (as Peter has mentioned) of the same special characters like áéöő... So for example if you press and hold o, a mini popup should appear with special öő characters. It's like that because it now allows a shortcut to diacritical marks. You used to be able to disable this feature and restore repeating alphabetic characters by typing the following command in Terminal: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false But that no longer works in Yosemite. I find the new functionality for diacritical marks useful and can't ever remember having a need to type a long string of a single alpha character.

Hold down the 'fn' key on the left bottom of your keyboard while you hit the key you want to repeat.

Does anyone know how I can get any single key on my KeyBoard to repeat continuously whilst the key is held down?? I asked Ronni quite a while ago,who told me what to do for continuous text and for the single key, for some reason upon updating to YOSEMITE I can’t continually repeat any key whilst holding it down. Ronni has sent an e-mail again with the instructions for repeating sentences, thank you Ronni, but I had kept the notes for doing this, but cannot find the instructions on what to do to use a single key.
