Remove keydown delay in JavaScript?

Question

Well, when you hold a key on your keyboard, after the first fire there is a 1sec delay.
You can go ahead and open notepad and hold a key (e.x \'x\') you\'ll see after

Answer 1

you could start an event on keydown and stop it on keyup

$('#mycanvas').on('keydown', function() { 
   $(document).trigger('start'); 
}); 

$('#mycanvas').on('keyup', function() { 
   $(document).trigger('stop'); 
});

$(document).on('start', startAnimation);
$(document).on('stop', stopAnimation);

function startAnimation(e) { //start something }
function stopAnimation(e) { //stop something }
