F.A.Q. ​

Key Presses are Laggy or Slow? ​

If you are experiencing laggy or slow key presses, it could be due to the system configuration. Here are some steps you can take to improve the responsiveness of key presses.

  • On Mac: Enable Key Repeat

    If holding down a key like "j" does not repeat the command (a feature of Mac), you can enable key repeat by running this command once at the terminal:

    bash
    defaults write com.sublimetext.3 ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

  • On Ubuntu: Configure Repeat Interval and Delay

    You can adjust the keyboard repeat interval and delay using gsettings. Open a terminal and run the following commands:

    bash
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard repeat-interval 15
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard delay 180

  • On KDE: Configure Key Delay and Rate

    For KDE users, you can change the keyboard delay and rate by running the following command:

    bash
    systemsettings5 kcm_keyboard

    This will bring up a window where you can change the 'Delay' and 'Rate' settings as required.

  • On X11 based systems: Set Keyboard Repeat Rate

    For X11 type systems, you can directly set the keyboard repeat rate using xset. Open a terminal and run the following command:

    xset r rate <milliseconds_before_repeating> <repetitions_per_second>

    For example, to set a 300 milliseconds delay before repeating and a repetition rate of 30 repetitions per second, use:

    bash
    xset r rate 300 30

    By adjusting these settings, you can enhance the responsiveness of key presses and improve your typing experience in Sublime Text or any other applications on your system.
