The onscreen keyboard has an autorepeat, so if you hold your stylus down, it
will start to repeat after a short delay.  This is great for editing long
command lines, for example.

But it stops autorepeating if stylus movement is detected, and the threshold is
very, very low.  So I can hold on an arrow key and the result is a bit
unpredictable:

  * I might get no autorepeat at all, because of some minor jitter from the
touchscreen;

  * I might get autorepeat as long as I want, which is rare; or

  * I might get a few characters' worth of autorepeat, then it stops.
