SLOWING DOWN THE REPEAT RATE AND REPEAT DELAY?

[Stryka11]

Is there any way to slow down the repeat rate and repeat delay when I press a button?  Because usually when I press a button to type, it's usually followed by ten of the same characters.

Yes, i have both the delay and rate all the way down in CP
