Sorry to be posting such a niche issue!
I'm using a 2008 Apple Keyboard with my Linux laptop connected via Bluetooth. When I'm in GNOME, typematic works fine, ie. repeated keystrokes are input when I keep holding down a key.
When I switch into TTY mode (I've forgotten what the correct term is), holding down a key does not repeat the character however. Does anybody have any clue how to enable this?
Thanks!

Other things I've tried:

  • Checked the hid_apple options, none of them seem relevant.
  • Typematic in TTY mode works on the internal laptop keyboard.
