Keyboard autorepeat is unfortunately one of the undefined areas of the
VNC protocol, which means you won't get a consistent behaviour across
clients and servers. We have a proposed method in the community RFB
protocol specification that TigerVNC hosts. Unfortunately I don't think
many VNC implementations have been updated to follow it. Even TigerVNC
still needs to be fixed to follow that.

If you want to you can add bug entries for it, but I don't think anyone
is actively working on this right now.

PS. Don't reply to unrelated messages when you start a new thread. It
messes things up and makes it easy to overlook your messages.
