I'd suggest to go to the top of some file, then look on your watch and
hold the <down> key for 10 seconds. Then take the current line number
and div by 10.
which works fine so long as the file is long enough...
Or you could just hold down a letter key or enter.
But it's documented to be cps in the xset manpage on x11 anyway, and is,
or close enough. I can't test on windows.
Eli: in case you tried the previous registry suggestion and it didn't work:
The windows scale reportedly [1] stems from the PC "typematic" hardware
autorepeat feature that takes a 5-bit parameter and maps 0 to 2 cps and
31 to a mere 30 cps [2].
I assume x.org implements autorepeat in software, I've definitely been
using a rate well above 30 cps for quite a while.
One of the comments on [1] suggests some accessibility thing called
"filterkeys" may need to be active for windows to prefer software
autorepeat and allow the higher sane-operating-system-like speeds, and
gives a different registry key to mangle when it's on to get the speeds
above the old 30 cps limit. [3]
