[SOLVED]can't "rewind" command with holding arrows on keyboard.

I hope to make myself as clear as I can: when I hold arrows on keyboards (in game for example) I can only move 1 square, when it should go until I release arrow.
Same in console, I can't "rewind" command when holding arrow, I have to keep pushing it until it gets where I want it.

you mean terminal history browsing? Well this isn't a solution to your problem, but you could always use bang commands or command history search, which has eliminated my use of the arrow keys.

For your particular problem, what terminal emulator are you using? And what's the config?

No, I meant simple commands. When I type some long one for example and I want to correct something - I can't "rewind" it by holding arrow on keyboard, I have to keep pushing it until I get where I wanted.

Try:

xset r rate 300 25

You can check if key repeat is on with:

xset q
