Set a blazingly fast keyboard repeat rate (cursor movement) in Terminal MacOSX

(plagiarized from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090823193018149) Everybody knows that you can get a pretty fast keyboard repeat rate by changing a slider on the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel. But you can make it even faster! In Terminal, run this command:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0

Then log out and log in again. The fastest setting obtainable via System Preferences is 2 (lower numbers are faster), so you may also want to try a value of 1 if 0 seems too fast. You can always visit the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel to undo your changes. You may find that a few applications don't handle extremely fast keyboard input very well, but most will do just fine with it.
