when i want to hold one of the 'A' to 'Z' keys in wine.
it seems that i keep on hitting the key.

how can i solve this problem?
thanks very much~~~~~~~
--------------------------------
i am sorry,my english is poor,but i am always trying hard to improve it....:P
--------------------------------
ah ha!I know what happened!
it is none of the wine's business!!!
i use gnome.so in the "sysytem" option,it can find out a "keyboard"option,then you may know what happen
but its function is too simple, i dont know if i can list something that i want to hold and something not~~~
-----------------
i am sorry,my english is poor,i hope you can understand what i mean~~

Please use thread titles that describe your problem. You're not the only one reading your threads.
Is there a particular problem that you're having other than you don't want key repeating enabled in Wine?

The probability of getting help decreases with each exclamation mark after the first one.

Sounds like the sticky keys problem (which happens anywhere in xorg, but especially in CPU heavy applications (like wine)). I haven't heard of a good solution, I use this:
for i in $(xmodmap -pke|awk '{print $2}');do
xset -r $i
done
for i in 98 102 104 100 22 107 65 25 26 53 54 90 85 89 99 105 106 107; do
xset r $i
done
Where the list of numbers is cursor keys/pgup/pgdn/backspace/etc and also 'w'/'e' and 'x'/'c' which I use for scrolling.
I haven't noticed any disadvantages to this, except that w/e/x/c sometimes repeat when typing words.

Procyon,
You seem to know what's going on here. What exactly is the issue with Wine? Or is it key-repeat in general?

It's been months since I read about it (I think this site: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/124406 )
Now I see there's also: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10398
And more recent info that Dolby linked to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9448
But it doesn't look very good...
And there is something I forgot to mention in the post above...
When you get a key stuck and you disabled the repeat of this key, then it won't repeat but it will still be stuck and cause other keys to not work. This happens a lot with my multimedia keys so e.g. I press the Next Song button and no other keyboard button works anymore but it also won't go over the entire playlist anymore. To solve this you have to press the same button you pressed again (it won't cause another event) which can be hard to find.

Try wine-key in AUR. On default wine, I had such trouble.. characters stuttering like i'm rapidly pressing a key instead of holding it down. Wine-key has a patch to deal with it, if that's what you mean.

What FrozenFox said should fix it, I used to have that problem.

There I was, hoping that the OP had heeded my post above.
