This is a repost of https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253025491

Hi,

Holding down any alphanumeric key in Apple Xcode doesn’t autorepeat, unlike in all other macOS applications; how do I turn keyboard autorepeat back on for alphanumeric keys in Apple Xcode? I am running Apple Xcode Version 10.1 (10B61) [the highest-numbered, most-recent version of Xcode compatible with Apple macOS Version 10.13.6 “High Sierra”].

’preciate it, Austin

I never noticed, but you're right. And could not find anyway to change this behaviour in preferencesces.

However, that looks like a design decision ; you get the alternate key and not the autorepeat. Maybe the reason is to avoid accidental typing errors in code ?

Note : that's the same when you type text in this forum.

Feel free to send a bug report for improvement suggestion.
