Something that needs adustment is the keyboard rate on the Ubuntu Touch port for the BraX3. There is no GUI tool for this in settings. Looking up how to do this does not work. Any ideas?
This is Brave AI and these methods do not work:
Adjust Keyboard Rate Ubuntu Touch
To adjust the keyboard repeat rate on Ubuntu Touch, you can use the xset command in a terminal, though this requires access to a shell environment.
- **For X11-based sessions**: Use `xset r rate <delay> <rate>`, where:
- `<delay>` is the time in milliseconds before repeating starts (e.g., `200`).
- `<rate>` is the number of repeats per second (e.g., `30`).
- Example: `xset r rate 200 30` sets a 200ms delay and 30 repeats per second.
- **For persistent settings**: Add the `xset` command to your startup scripts (e.g., `~/.profile` or `~/.xinitrc`) to apply the settings on every session.
> **Note**: Ubuntu Touch uses a different input stack than traditional desktop Ubuntu. If `xset` is not available or ineffective, the system may rely on the underlying Android-based input framework, which limits direct configuration. In such cases, adjusting keyboard behavior may require system-level changes or custom ROMs.
For on-screen keyboard settings, go to **Settings > Keyboard** and adjust the **Key Repeat Rate** and **Delay** sliders if available. Some versions of Ubuntu Touch may not expose full keyboard rate controls through the GUI.
dconf is the GUI for the gsettings command , you can also find dconf and dconf-editor at Packages | Arch Linux ARM , ultimately those are files that you probably can’t access.
Brave AI also recommends using a CLI program called kbdrate. This is not in Ubuntu Touch and is not a snap that could be installed. I’ve been plugging in a keyboard but not very convenient if not seated!
As I can see on their project page this is for hardware keyboards, nothing to do with virtual keyboards that are controlled by the GUI on a higher level.
Oh, there isn’t a GUI method given in this version of Ubuntu Touch to use dconf. I got a binary before to run from aarch64 but the app didn’t function. I will try those dconf packages.
ok, I downloaded and extracted both files. I want to make sure I’m running this right. I go into the created /usr/bin and then ./dconf and ./deconf-editor.
That didn’t work. I also used the file browser and opened each file. It wanted to use another program so I chose the open store. That didn’t work either.
Contact the developer because we have no idea what exactly configures such a thing. Doesn’t the gsettings command exist? xset shouldn’t work since Ubuntu Touch runs on a Wayland server.
