Remotely controlling another computer in the same office, or across the continent, or in some other part of the world, that's one of the wonders of computing. It is nothing new of course. My first experience doing remote control was with some MS-DOS version of pcAnywhere, when I was at a small software development firm in the Wall Street area. The company supported some law offices, one as far as California. Whatever wide area network they had back then, it was somewhat painful. It probably helped that it was all character-based, it was MS-DOS after all, years before bloated Windows OS came along. In more recent years, one remote control software I use is some flavor of VNC. It is pretty basic, just remote control, being able to see another computer's screen, move mouse cursor, enter keystrokes. Some major change came along not long ago, now most of the time when I type on the remote computer, the characters would get repeated many times. Even with today's graphical user interface, it's still quick to type a few characters of a program to bring it up. For example, click Windows then type Fil to bring up File Explorer, as opposed to scrolling down the alphabetical list to find F and so on. But with the quirk I described, one F would become many FFFFF and so on. Trying to connect to \\server1\share2 is impossible, as it can become \\\\\\\ssssseeeerrrrvvvveeeerrrrr11111\\\\\\ssshhhh , you get the gist. Arrrggghhhh! I thought using the on-screen keyboard would help but that's not the case. This week it dawned on me that perhaps there is some settings I can adjust. The remote systems emulate Windows, the operating system of the terminal itself is some Linux flavor. Some Dell ThinOS. It has its own settings. Let's see... System / Peripherals / Keyboard... Repeat Rate... It was on some setting, I chose the last option, "No Repeat". Who thought it would be a good idea to have anything else other than "No Repeat"? That was it! I was able to type normally again, while on these remote computers. Poke around and ye shall find!
