On macOS, if I hold A and it’s auto-repeating, then I press and release Space while still holding A, the A repeat stops and doesn’t resume until I release/re-press A. Is this expected rappy snappy key-repeat behavior, or can Wooting/rappy snappy affect this?
if i use Snappy tappy it works like i want it to, shows as aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

isnt key repeat disabled by default in macos since like a few years if not a decade?
yeah after 2 reboots of my mac i can also confirm that not only is key repeat not a thing by default on modern macos but the behaviour is just how keyrepeat in macos works

hmmmm i see i thought i had a config wrong or something on the keyboard
key repeat is fixed tho i just run this on terminal and fix the key repeat behavior, the first line makes it so you can spam a key
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat -int 7
defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 2

thats not what keyrepeat does but ok

its just a text input emulation
hmmmmm i see so its just not possible for macos

prob is but youd prob install some sketchy kernel modules or smth
windows has ahk and i think linux has actual HID key repeat thats quite easy to enable
(although ahk or macro software) isnt really hid key repeats either and easy to ignore in software yet again)

ill just use snappy tappy i guess, it does make it work just not for all keys universally
fervent basalt
idk what came of the macro survey we did but i think keyrepeat is quite a commonly asked feature for a new advanced key
