Disable key repeat for specific key (eg. xset r off)
Hi. Would it be possible to do something like `xset r off` but only for one key? I'd like to disable key repeat for the enter key.

Re: Disable key repeat for specific key (eg. xset r off)
After seeing seth's post and looking at the xset output and man-page, I found out that this here seems to work:
xset -r 36Using "-r" disables the key's repeat, and using "r" (without "-") enables it again.
I got the key code through "xev -event keyboard" and hitting the Enter key. A text "keycode 36" was mentioned somewhere in the xev output.

Great.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
