How to change the key repeat rate?

It is driving me crazy.

The key repeat rate is extremely slow.

If I am to delete 50 characters, it would take 1 minute.

I have set it to the fastest, but it is still extremely slow.

I also tried

  1. defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 1
  2. defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0
  3. defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1
  4. defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 0

but none of them works.

I also posted a question on StackExchange but no one had an answer.

Could someone save me?

Cannot thank more...

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15
