Control and shift key timeouts


Hi

Apologies for not mentioning this years ago, but ...

In vi, if I hold down the shift or the control key and then move through
the file (e.g. repeated CTRL-B or SHIFT-W use), and then hit no fresh
keys for 5 seconds (i.e. just sit there with the CTRL or Shift key
depressed), and then continue pressing B or W or whatever, the fact that
the key is depressed seems to get lost.  I have to lift that finger and
press the key down again.

This happens inside an rxvt window or inside a Cygwin window. It
happens whether or not X is running.  It happens inside an xterm.
It also happens outside vi: e.g. if you're just editing a bash command
line.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Regards,

luke
