How to turn off the iOS-style character picker menu When I hold a key in Lion, I get this iOS-style character picker instead of a repeated character, as in previous versions of the OS:



I really dislike this (I rarely use those symbols as I only speak Dutch and English). I want to hooooooooooold a key. :)

Where can I turn this off? I can't find an option in the system preferences.
You have to open a Terminal window and type in the following:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
