Is there a way to disable "running"? (Holding movement key)

[citronvand]

Sometimes my keyboard keys get stuck (not physically) and the computer thinks the key is pressed even though it isn't. For instance I could write a sentence and then suddennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I have to press the same key again to fix it. But when this happen in Crawl with the movement keys it could be the death of my character since if you hold a movement key the character will rush/attack in that direction. Is there a way to disable that? So if you hold a movement key the character will only go 1 step.

I've tried disabling repeating keys in Windows 7 so you can't hold a key and get for example "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". But it doesn't affect Crawl.

If you play tiles, you can put "tile_key_repeat_delay = 0" into your init.txt / rcfile. This should disable keys repeating completely. If you play console, you can probably change it in the settings for whatever shell program you're using.

I don't know if this actually works or even if you're playing tiles, but the following option exists:

  Code:

tile_key_repeat_delay = 200
        If you hold down a key, there's a delay until the pressed key will
        take action. This option controls this delay, in milliseconds. If it
        is set to 0 key presses will never repeat.

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for.
