For some ridiculous reason I need to disable key autorepeat.
I am told that "xset r off" or "xset -r" does the job. However, when I use the command nothing changes. Holding down a key, like "w" still results in repeated "w" being triggered.

$ xset q

xset q tells me that autorepeat is indeed turned off, yet it still repeats.
Am I missing something? Can someone reproduce the behaviour? Is this a bug? And if yes, is there any alernative to xset?
