“Key Repeat” is no longer functional on the Skip Forward and Skip Backward keys:

Left Arrow (←) and Right Arrow (→)

This problem affects USB Keyboards in addition to Remote Controls.

The problem started with build #0729 and continues with current builds. I believe that this is the result of recently added “Long-Press” features disabling “key repeat” for these two keys.

The Long-Press feature changes the key function from skip forward with auto-repeat to 2X fast forward (or Rewind). The feature was intended for low cost Android Boxes with low key count remote controls that do not have Fast Forward and Rewind keys.

Skip Forward and Skip Back with auto-repeat are important functions that should not have been eliminated by the inclusion of “Long-Press” code.

This is a request to restore the previous functionality by removing or provide a simple method of disabling “Long-Press” code.

I agree and will revert this.

there must have been a reason for adding this feature, can it not be an option?
