Fast key-repeat rate causes problems #12

In Linux, my key repeat rate is very high. If I hold down Alt-B or Alt-F to go backwards or forwards one word at a time, 50% of the key-events appear as one of: ^f, ^[f, ^b, or ^[b.

Arrow keys, home, and end don't have this problem, however.

can you try to tweak the sequence timeout https://github.com/grosser/ruco/blob/master/lib/ruco/keyboard.rb#L8 and see if it helps ?
