  <title>Turn off repeated key presses</title>

  <p>By default, when you hold down a key on your keyboard, the letter
  or symbol will be repeated until you release the key. If you have
  difficulty picking your finger back up quickly enough, you can
  disable this feature, or change how long it takes before key presses
  start repeating.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
    <p>Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
     <p>In the Hardware section, click <gui>Keyboard</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
     <p>Turn off <gui>Key presses repeat when key is held down</gui> to disable
     repeated keys entirely.</p>
     <p>Alternatively, adjust the <gui>Delay</gui> slider to control how long
     you have to hold a key down to begin repeating it, and adjust the
     <gui>Speed</gui> slider to control how quickly key presses repeat.</p>
