Detecting continous typing of a key

Detecting continous typing of a key

[Vincent Bernat]

Hello !

I have a very responsive keyboard and I leave my finger on "N" in
summary mode. However, I have another finger on "J" or on "K" and
sometimes, they press "J" or "K". In case of "J", it is not very
dangerous but if the other finger is continously pressing the "K" key,
I kill several thread in several groups.

Is there some way to avoid to respond to this ? Something which will
request one second between two "K" press ?

You could bind `K' to a command that calls `(sleep-for 1)' after doing
what `K' normally does.

I will try but I think the problem is that the "K" is remembered. And
I may want to press another key without waiting ! :) Is it possible to
use a timer ?

Sure.  `(current-time)' will return the current time, and you can use
`time-to-seconds' to convert the internal Emacs time to a simple
number.  Then store, subtract and compare.  Bind to `K'.  Sprinkle
with parsley and serve chilled.

You should try (disable-command 'foo), for example I use
(disable-command 'message-send-and-exit) because sometimes I press C-c
C-c accidentally...  With this I have to press space to really send the
message.

So put (disable-command 'gnus-summary-kill-same-subject-and-select) into
your dotemacs and give it a try. :)
