Here is how to change the soft-keyboard press & hold delay (now w/ cabs!) - Page 2

I will cab the reg change in the next day or so. What is the pleasure of the group? I intend to cab several different delay values for your text input pleasure.

I am thinking about cab'ing the following values as different choices:

450ms
400ms
350ms
300ms
250ms (using this value myself, requires a fine touch, but really speeds up text input)

As far as whether this change actually also affects the full-QWERTY, I too am seeing more of a delay compared to compact QWERTY and phone pad, but not sure why. I will have to have a deep look at the registry to see...

I tried out the registry change and am also seeing no effect on the full QWERTY - I don't think it's even slightly faster. If I use compact then it's quick as expected.

Drat.. this would be such an amazingly useful tweak for those of us in full QWERTY!

any luck on getting this to work on full QWERTY?
