Currently I set

defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 1
defaults write NSGlobalDomain InitialKeyRepeat -int 10
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

I'm trying to just make Macos work like every other system like Linux or Windows. Where it has clean consistent key repeat. But it seems nomatter what I press the repeat is always very clunky.

for example even with these very quick settings if I press the arrow keys on a long sentence it takes 2-3x as long as it does on windows to get to destination. But sometimes if I go faster than this it breaks the system where I press a button once and it goes crazy.

Is it possible to have the results I want and not be so clunky?

Thanks

Is it possible to make keyboard repeat on Macos act like other systems?
