keystroke repetition

Post by Blackkatt »

Hi, a few weeks ago I tested Ubuntu and LIRC. With LIRC I could hold down a button to get "keystroke repetition" with EventGhost this does not work. Nothing happens if you hold down a button.
One must release the button after each keystroke, why?

I have a X10 ELECTIA MCE Remote 0R22V (Medion) remote

You need to add "Add action->EventGhost->Autorepeat current macro" to any macro you want to repeat.
