I'm not sure Apple really understands why some people need this repeating feature, so when you send them a request at http://www.apple.com/feedback, explain the various cases in which it is important for you.

Npt possible as far as I know. Ask apple to add this option via hhttp://www.apple.com/feedback

OMFG. This is so annoying... I'm just trying to use vim motions on ipad and it's impossible. I can't believe they don't let you disable this infuriating popup and allow basic key repeat, why is that so hard Apple?

If it's a "PRO" product, you should listen to "PRO" customers and make it more usable in a professional setting.

I've submitted a feedback form, but I'm not holding my breath that anyone will actually read it or implement it.

OK I'm going to go calm myself down now lol (it just really gets me when I spend so much $$$ on the latest tech from apple only to be disappointed that I can't use it the way I want to)

These accented characters have prevented me from typing a character repeatedly when holding down an a-z key.

This is so stupid that they provide the key repeat option which does not do exactly what user's enable it for except for some useless characters. Using Vim just like this is so annoying.
