It might be nice, but the Windows autorepeat caused problems with systems running in Japanese... so they need the XKB autorepeat functionality, since the Windows autorepeat needs to be disabled for them.


Huh. Not that I'm completely amazed, but it seems strange that Windows would be unable to handle Japanese keyboards. Is this an underlying Windows bug? Perhaps there's some workaround from Microsoft?

It's not that it is unable to handle Japanese keyboards, it is that it sends fake autorepeat messages that screwup our handling of certain keys. As Takuma for a better explanation.
