Isn't this just the standard 'delay before key repeat' thing?

Is it possible to remove this delay ?

Well, you can twiddle System Preferences, but I don't know if there's
a way to override it for just your application.

Even if there is, unless your app. is a game or something (where you're using the keys as switches rather than to indicate text input), you really shouldn't fiddle with user settings relating to the way their keyboard and mouse work, and even in the case of a game, you need to be very careful to restore the settings whenever the user switches out of your program.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
