[SOLVED]I want to set repeat keys delay time and rate.

I hardly found some artiles on the net,such as this command:xset r rate 200 30,
but it can work only once,I want to change the configure forever,then how to do?

Re: [SOLVED]I want to set repeat keys delay time and rate.

Put the command in your ~/.xinitrc file.

$> cat .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

xset r rate 200 30 &

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
