Actually, repeat skips every nth key press, so repeat = 2 means it  
will process the first keypress, but not the second, the the third,  
but not the 4th, etc. Note that setting your repeat too low may result  
in unintended key presses depending on the sensitivity of your remote/ 
receiver so the real way to do it is with the Page UP and Page DOWN  
keys.
