You can disable the keyboard autorepeat function?

I have a bad habit of while asleep at the computer.  This sometimes results in thousands of extra list.  I never use the auto repeat function.  When a key is depressed and kept down, I don't want to repeat.  I know that I can slow it down.  Can I stop all together?

You can use keyboard settings in the control panel to change the frequency of repetition and the speed, but it will always repeat the keys but not earlier and not too quickly.

However, if you want to refuse the key to never repeat (without multiple taps), you must use the Accessibility Options in the control panel.

Start, control panel

Choose "Accessibility Options."

(Depending on your view of the Control Panel, you can choose 'Accessibility Options' again once at the next screen task list or you can go directly to the Options settings below).

On the "Keyboard" tab, check "FilterKeys" and click the button "settings".

Select the "ignore quick keystrokes" and click the button "settings".

Do not select the "no repeat...". »

at the bottom of the box, adjust the time of "keys must be held...". "0.0 (so the key will always be type as soon as you hit it.)

  • V3 772G - you can disable the touchpad?

    I think about the order of this machine from NewEgg. This is 1099 now. I write code for a living, and usually use a mouse. I would like to be able to disable the touchpad. I know that some keyboards allow this. All photos I have seen that I have not been able to find out if there is a keyboard shortcut to do this on the V3 series G 772. I saw the posts here that other keyboards has this option but nothing I could find specific to this series of laptops. I know that they have no backlight and also don't sport the caps-lock/num-lock lights. I can live with that, but the touchpad function is little need for me about 70% of my use.

    Thank you for any information you can give.

    Yes, you can disable the touchpad. Fn + F7 keys disable it. But you should be aware that the device you want to buy has a few hardware problems. Currently, there is no solution to prevent flickering display, if the brightness level is lower than 70-100%. There are other issues, mainly stability. You should read this forum before buying.

  • You can disable the automatically load a random number of Freecell game first starts?

    FreeCell startup in Windows 7, it automatically loads a game of chance.  I don't want it.  I ALWAYS want to choose the number of game I want to play.  Yes, I can choose the game - after - the cards are dealt, but then I have to accept defeat on the hand held before that I don't want to play.

    I want to choose the game is because I'm going sequentially through the list, game 1 to...

    Yes, is it when even disable the automatic selection, or revert to the behavior where you will be asked to each selection random or # first game? (As in previous versions)

    Duh_ug,
    Well, I'm just a casual player of Freecell, so I've never really paid attention to the stats.  However what I found is that if after the cards are dealt, if you 'Select Game' before to make some moves on in the game, it does not count as a game played or a loss.  As soon as make you any kind of move on the game, then becomes an active game and will be considered a loss\game played if you select a new game.  Try it and make sure it works correctly for you.

  • You can replace the keyboard on Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT?

    Hi all

    I can get a good deal on a laptop Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT.

    However, there is a downside. They keyboard is in German. I think that the German layout is QWERTZ?
    in any case, I want to know if it is possible to replace the keyboard with a keyboard with a United-States-layout (QWERTY).

    I noticed several online shops offer keyboards, but I'd rather be safe on this fact.

    I can find keyboards, with provision of the United States, for Acer Aspire E5 - 571 G '-part, but not for the TC model 59. Does it matter? I think that the last part is reserved for configuration, right? If anyone can confirm this?

    The keyboard I have found so far is: http://bit.ly/1EVk49k
    Even cheaper eBay: http://ebay.to/1vjvXG9

    So far, thanks for responding. Very much appreciated.

    Concerning

    Hello

    Yes, the last characters are the configuration for this country (Germany).

    You actually have this keyboard:

    NK. I171S.00DKEYBOARD (GERMAN)

  • I can't disable the keyboard mouse when I installed usb mouse.

    OT: The mouse settings.

    I can't disable the keyboard mouse when I have the usb mouse installed, they way I type provokes me accidentally touching the keyboard & I need to be able to disable this 'thing'. Can someone give me a hint on how to achieve this?

    I guess that what you mean is that when you type, your hand hits the trackpad causing a right click of the mouse. I used to have the same problem.

    If you go to the Hardware and Settings under control panel, you should see the settings for your trackpad. Under these settings, clear tapping to click. The trackpad still works, but hitting should not get them to click. The settings vary depending on the trackpad you have.

    I hope this helps!

  • I can't disable the keyboard sleep wake

    I have a laptop ASUS N80vn.

    I want to be able to wake up my laptop ONLY by pressing the power button or the sleep button. I don't want another key on the keyboard to wake my computer from sleep. Currently, by pressing any key on the keyboard wake my computer from sleep mode.

    Here's what I've tried:

    1. go into Device Manager-> keyboards-> properties-> power management-> uncheck "allow this device to wake the computer".
    Why it does not work
    : there is no power management tab in the properties of the my keyboard driver window.
    I currently have four entries under ' keyboards in Device Manager:
    Device keyboard filter
    Keyboard 109 MCIR Microsoft eHome
    Keyboard MCIR Microsoft eHome
    Keyboard Microsoft eHome Remote control
    There is no power management tab in one of them!

    2. go in the BIOS, disable "Wake on keyboard.
    Why it doesn't:
    there is no other choice "Wake on keyboard", or anything similar, in my BIOS.

    3. open a command window, use the command of ' powercfg - devicedisablewake ' to disable the awakening of the keyboard.
    Why it doesn't:
    'powercfg - devicequery wake_armed' does not all devices currently configured to wake my computer from sleep mode. In addition, "powercfg - devicequery wake_programmable poster the ' does not indicate that my network card and my USB mouse are able to be set to wake my computer from sleep mode (both are currently defined NOT to wake up the computer); It makes no mention of the keyboard.

    I am resigned to the idea that I have to change my registry, replace my keyboard drivers, or something just as intensively to prevent my keyboard to wake my computer, but I definitely want to do.

    If it's important, I only installed computer to go into a S3 sleep and you have turned off the Hibernate.

    Any ideas?
