I figured key repeat still worked for SOME keys, just not ones with
"variants". In testing this is not the case! Yeah, that is weird... and the
"Delay Until Repeat" effects the delay until you see the variants.

Maybe it is different in different programs? I only tested in TextEdit.

Still seems weird.
