Keyboard repeat is dreadful in RC2. If, on a command line, I hold down, say, the most I can get out of it is about 16 cps (should be 30) and the extra ones pile up in the buffer and occur long after I release the key.

Not reproducible here. (Again, nothing has changed there in at least a couple of years.) Rex Conn JP Software

(Again, nothing has changed there in at least a |couple of years.) I can start v10 and v11 right next to each other; the difference is clear. In v10 I get 29 cps and achoing stops as soon as I release the key. In v11 I get about half that speed with the other half of the characters appearing after I release the key. -- - Vince
They're both exactly the same here. Are you doing this from a TCMD tab window or a standalone TCC? Anybody else able to reproduce this?

If it's OK with TCC then you've probably got some undesirable interaction going on with TCMD. Key handlers are normally pretty fast unless you're doing an awful lot of crunching before returning the key.

I had a break during my business trip to try this and was not able to reproduce the problem. I am not using the console plugin. Sent from Cookie's iPhone Jim Cook On Oct 23, 2009, at 22:25, rconn <> wrote:
It won't be harmful, but it'll definitely be slow. QueryIsTCMD creates a pipe, writes some data to it & waits for TCMD to read the data and respond. But TCMD only looks for the pipe every 30ms (for performance reasons), so it's not a very good idea to try to beat on it every keystroke.
Does TCC receive any notifications when a console is attached or detached from TCMD? Vince, I would guess that 99% of the time once someone starts a TCC session they either run stand-alone or within TCMD. The few times they detach the tab or attach could be addressed with a simple enhancement to your plugin. So, check whether attached or detached when the plugin is initialized and save that away. Then just assume that is the status each time your keystroke plugin runs. You could then have an update command that re-checks and modifies your saved status. You could even add it to one of the special post command aliases. -Scott rconn <> wrote on 10/24/2009 09:07:21 AM: respond. so
TCMD does not send any notifications; however, TCC can quickly determine whether it's hidden or not; if it's not hidden it definitely is *not* in a tab window. (When it's detached it will be made visible.) The only possible confusion is if some other process is running a hidden TCC console app with plugins, which doesn't seem too likely.
