When using a TTY login shell by entering e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F1 on Debian Jessie. There is inhuman fast delay, specifically I think these values are correct (250ms)root@VB-NB-Debian:~# kbdrateTypematic Rate set to 10.9 cps (delay = 250 ms)vlastimil@VB-NB-Debian:~$ sudo kbdrateTypematic Rate set to 10.9 cps (delay = 250 ms)Which I don't understand anyway, I have a normal 810ms set in my KDE system. Still in Xterm the kbdrate says I have a delay of 250ms set.Anyway this is not the point. I need to permanently change the delay for all TTYs. Can you help me with that?I found this Adjusting keyboard sensitivity in a command line terminal? but it doesn't guide me. What exactly shall I do?EDIT1: So, the question is, how to set the delay (not interested in the rate) once and for all.
Adjusting keyboard delay in a TTY?

I think the kbdrate program only affects the rate in the Linux console outside of X windows and I think has to do with the bios keyboard repeat rate.  The program you can use from a terminal in X windows to set the one that will control X windows terminals like Xterm is called xset. Use it like this:xset r rate 810 30I don't use KDE so I'm not sure if this really works in KDE, but it works in XFCE.  Interestingly enough, when I went to go search for X keyboard rate on Google to confirm it, the first result was my own webpage from 14 years ago complaining about this. ;-)
