Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all,

New CMM2 user here, I'm really loving it thus far! Got my Wii classic controller hooked up and am moving pixels across the screen like a mad person! ;D

Using the editor though, the cursor moves a little slow for my liking. Is there an OPTION I can set to change the repetition speed of a key? I did have a look at the manual but couldn't find an answer, my apologies however if it was documented or asked previously.

Thanks for helping!

Cheers,

Mx

Me too. I've been trying not to depend on key repetition too much, instead using:
Home/End to go to start/end of line
Page up/Page down to go up/down whole pages
Ctrl-F or F3 to find the text I want to move to (the manual explains a bit more detail about find mode)

Have you tried experimenting with
OPTION KEYBOARD
REPEAT firstchar, nextchar


Page 51 in the latest manual

Did you use "Option console screen" to turn off the mirroring of all the screen to the terminal out even if it is not attached to you PC.  It gets a little snaper with that set.  Also use "option console save" to make it default to that on power-up.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes! that is exactly what I needed. I found a good balance at around 500 and 50 for the two parameters, this will make it much nicer to code on.

Now I just need to get a battery so it can remember my options.

Cheers,

Mx
