I liked the feature or more quicker key repetition time in Konsole (KDE's terminal). The feature is actually, If you write a long line and wanted to delete it by pressing and holding the Backspace key, the line start deleting quickly.



But, in gnome-terminal (Default Ubuntu's default terminal) it required more time. You have to hold the backspace button more time than in konsole.



My question is: How can I reduce this time in gnome-terminal? or How can I make gnome-terminal to trigger key repetition quickly?



Note: I am asking it not only for deleting line, but also for going to specific position in line.

To customize the delay until a key is repeated in Ubuntu, do:




  1. Open Dash (Super key).

  2. Search for keyboard and click on the Keyboard result.

  3. A new window opens where you can set the delay and speed.



This is the picture from System Settings --> Keyboard windows

In the terminal, these hotkeys may be useful:



Ctrl + U to delete the characters from the cursor to the beginning of the line.



Ctrl + W to delete the characters from the cursor to the left until next blank space. Meaning deleting only one word at the left of the cursor.
