Abstract
Improved control of repeated program response to a user input is provided. One user input, such as the pressing and releasing of a key, causes a corresponding program response. Pressing of the key for longer than a predetermined interval causes a repetition of the response at a particular rate. Pressing of a second key while the repetition occurs causes the repetition to occur at a different rate. The improved control is possible independently of software and independently of motherboard hardware.
