            Bug ID: 234196
           Summary: Default keyboard repeat delay too quick
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: deepbluemistake at gmail.com

In the default terminal (I can't tell whether this is vt or syscons, please
help me if you need that info) the default delay before key repeat is far too
small.
Normally I type fast enough to not be affected, but occasionally I am.  This is
most noticeable when typing a password slowly: keys get repeated even there.
They key delay in xterm is alright, and the key delay (in vt or syscons) after
setting kbdcontrol -r normal is alright, too.
But the current key repeat delay most resembles kbdcontrol -r fast (or maybe
even faster than that!)

The key repeat speed is fine, but the default delay is unreasonably small, and
could be changed.  People who want it to be really fast could switch back,
themselves.  But as it is now, it sometimes hampers inputting passwords, and
provides no benefit.
