A mod/fix I didn't mention in SCS 10.5.0 is that key-repeat is now ignored for commands like 'Go'. This came about through the need to ignore key-repeat for the new 'note' hot key mode, where the hot key cue will play while you hold down the key and stop playing when you release the key. Having implemented that, which required SCS to ignore key-repeats on that hot key, it seemed an obvious next step to ignore key-repeats for the 'Go' button and various other keyboard commands.
Key-repeat is still accepted in other windows such as the Editor, and in the main window for navigation through the cue list (eg up arrows and down arrows), and if you use the keyboard for fine-tuning sliders.

Thanks Ian. It's good to know about being able to set the double-click time. We are an amateur theater club and our operators are volunteers of all ages. Some of them hold the keys down too long and things like that until they get used to it.
