iced_layershell: Keyboard key repeat delay is much shorter compared to normal app

[inker0]

When using iced_layershell (I've tested 0.14.0/0.15.0/0.16.0 with iced 0.14.0), key repeat is much shorter compared to normal app. The problem is likely came from how keyboard::listen listen to keyboard events and I guess it might be some misconfiguaration in something like wl_keyboard or xkb keyboard repeat info stuff? (I don't know too much about these things.) I've tested with other layer shell app and confirmed that this is not a problem of wlr_layer_shell.

I also found that in iced_layershell, keyboard::Event::KeyPressed::repeat is always set to false, while this information is correctly when using normal iced, but I am unsure if this is related.

the delay is controlled in

But it seems like there is no way to change it? Even if we can change it, it is quite unnatural that the key repeat delay is much shorter, maybe we should set the default delay to the same delay in other apps?

I don't know. how does winit and iced do that?

AFAIK, there is no way to change the delay in winit or iced, so changing it might be impossible. We are using the subscription defined in iced itself, so the code running should be the same. I guess the problem came from listening keyboard events behaves different in layer shell app and we might need to implement our own subscription?
