Um, without knowing anything about the code that's kind of what I
think too. But up to now the instructions have been to turn off
autorepeat in the device which I would rather not do.

Getting back to the main topic, we have keypad keys assigned to the
use of the copy buffer which are useless in very many situations
because they require that the system cursor be moved. If we could get
away from requiring the cursor to move without effacing the braille
those commands could be used if anyone wants to use them.
