Timing report

No response

Launch command

rofi -show run

Step to reproduce

• launch rofi
• type some stuff

Expected behavior

fast keyrate

Actual behavior

slow (default?) keyrate

Additional information

i set my keyrate in my sway config:

input "type:keyboard" {
    xkb_layout us
    repeat_delay 250
    repeat_rate 60
    xkb_options caps:escape
}

all software i use follows the set keyrate, except for rofi. very noticeable when backspacing a large amount of text (i use rofi for password management, gpg pinentry, etc.)

Either here, the repeated key stroking is too slow where its repeat rate seems hard coded in source?

Actually I just tested this and unfortunately cannot reproduce the issue. Both with input "type:keyboard" and using explicit keyboard identifiers, I am able to modify the rate and delay.

This is set here from the information given by sway https://github.com/lbonn/rofi/blob/9d11a2b4a9095b3f0a092155f749900f7eb8e047/source/wayland/display.c#L475.

Do you have more information on both of your setups? Like sway version, several keyboards etc...

I too have a slow repeat rate in rofi-wayland, that to the best of my memory was there in rofi on X, and was present when this fork was only on the AUR.

I am running Sway 1.9 in 6.9.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 18 Jul 2024 18:06:13 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I only use one keyboard generally, a wired Anne Pro 2, and again to the best of my memory, this issue was also present with my Logitech G610.

I set my repeat in the Sway config as one might expect as such:

input type:keyboard {
    repeat_delay 195
    repeat_rate 100
}

As you can see, I use a rate and delay on the more aggressive side and in rofi it is quite slow. I have not noticed any other software with a slow repeat rate. Attachment should show what is expected versus what I am getting.
