Is it possible to disable the keyboard repeat functionality, as is needed by various Flash games, through the command line?
Normally it can be disabled by going to settings -> keyboard and hitting the button, but I'm wondering if there's a command line / programmatic solution which I can implement into a program of mine.

/gsettings
solution is Gnome specific.)To switch off keyboard repeat:
To switch keyboard repeat on again, with the same delay and rate settings as before:
See man xset for details.
