So make your own - it's simple on OS X:

1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Script Editor
2. Create a new document.
3. Copy and paste the following code into the document.
4. Save the document with the name "Toggle Key Repeat" and file format
"Application".
5. Quit Script Editor.

Run the application to toggle between the two. : )

Here's the code (be sure to remove line wraps introduced by Usenet
clients when you copy and paste it):

-- begin script
set answer to display alert "Key Repeat Behavior" message "Pressing and
holding a key:" buttons {"Shows Special Characters", "Repeats"} default
button 2

if answer's button returned is "Repeats" then

do shell script "defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false"

else

do shell script "defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true"

end if

display alert "Don't Forget" message "Currently running applications
must be restarted before they will reflect changes." buttons "Thanks"
-- end script
