Seriously no key repeat in Lion?

Hello,

I would like to add some rage to this forum because Lion is the most embarassing piece of "upgrade" mankind has ever been faced with. The OS lacks of customizability more than my Game Boy Color. Clearly, Apple is trolling its customers.

You can't destroy such a conventional feature and assume everyone will agree with you. By all means, add the feature, put it on by default, but don't **** over your loyal common customer by applying these ridiculous restrictions that make no sence.

I don't care if you invented the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. You didn't invent the keyboard, it should behave as one.

Fix this!

NOW! (That means TODAY, surely it's not more that 50 lines of code)

Toys duly returned to pram.

Apple doesn't listen. While they are at it, they could fix the beyond bad, 4 steps backward interface for Address Book.

Have you told Apple?

Apple can't credibly pretend ignorance on Address Book and iCal, but that doesn't mean they won't try. It took 25 years to get them to make windows resizable from their edges, despite every other GUI on the planet doing it and numerous publications listing it among "things Apple needs to fix" year after year.

They still haven't put real Delete keys on their laptops, and that one was filed years ago.

Can't tell whether that's a yes or a no

I can't speak for the other guy, but yes, I've filed bugs against Address Book's broken UI.

The reason Apple doesn't include a proper delete key is because they don't think it is required, and most users don't really care about it, as the Backspace key in OS X works as a Delete key anyway. The CTRL + Backspace key works as a usual Delete key as well.

Of course Apple are going to make some changes that users don't like, but they won't add features just because 10% of their customers want it while the rest either don't care or haven't noticed (i.e. new users to computers). An example is, without notice, changing the orientation lock switch in iOS 4 to a mute switch and a lot of customers did not like that change, and Apple heard thaat loud and clear and in a future software update Apple added an option to change the mute switch to an lock orientation switch.

So I am sure if enough customers reported about the lack of repeated characters they will do something about it, such as allowing users to change this default setting in System Preferences. The same for scrolling speed, if a lot of customers reported about it to Apple. So, as others have said, your best advice is to send feedback to Apple. They make out they are arrogant, but they aren't, and they will listen to customers if enough of their customers report on it. They do what they do for customers, as well as any other company.

Wow..

Is that some american term or something is it? no idea what it means, but obviously part of your depleted vocabulary.

Cheers

Ahahahaha.. of course, sarcasm and arrogance are other marks of true fanbois 😝

Cheers to you too 🙂

Hmmm…. did you try holding the space bar while jolding the key you wish to repeat?
