Keyboard repeat

Function found with most computers or software programs that allows an individual to press and hold in a key, let go after a short time, and have the computer act as if that key was still being pressed. 

Keyboard repeat is commonly used to create a line by pressing the dash or underscore. See below example:

__________________________________

In the above example we pressed the underscore key to quickly draw a line. With keyboard repeat rate increased this can be done even faster. With newer word processor programs a user can also type three of the same type of dash, underscore or equal signs, and once pressing enter quickly, a divider line is drawn.

Tip: Users utilizing Microsoft Windows can open Control Panel, open the keyboard properties to change the computers keyboard repeat rate.
