Ever tried holding down the key for repeat?

Ever tried scrolling around in Lotus with the keyboard, and then with a
mouse? Just going from the top left area to the bottom right area on the 
same screen (44 x 132) takes forever with the keyboard.  Holding down a 
key for repeat is awfully time consuming  (You notice this when you have 
a mouse) but then not all of us have mice, and not all software use mice.

I say a keyboard speedup is in order.  (Even if you are NOT a hunt-and-peck
typist)
