Description

  • joykeyrepeathelper.h and joykeyrepeathelper.cpp are not compiled.
  • There are hidden key repeat settings in mainsettingsdialog.ui.
  • Just search for "keyrepeat" in the repo.

Todo:

  • Learn what this does and why it was disabled.
  • If useful, try re-enabling.
  • If not, remove dead code.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search for all occurrences of 'keyrepeat' in the repository, understand the purpose of the disabled code in joykeyrepeathelper files and the hidden UI elements in mainsettingsdialog.ui. Then either re enable the functionality if it's useful or remove the dead code.
