Actually, these tricks are only really necessary when using alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9). For all other characters (most usually “-“, “_”, or “="), simply holding down the key in question causes it to repeat. The amount of time before the repeat kicks in (“Delay Until Repeat”) can be set in the Keyboard Preferences.
