Using a couple of QDateTime::currentMSecsSinceEpoch() printf's in
src/Edit/Interface/edit_keyboard.cpp in handle_keypress, I recorded the
following times (in milliseconds) between the top and bottom of the
function:
1094
1086
1097
1115
1089
1091
1094
1090
1089
1091
1083
1093
1083
1241
1084
Just by alternatively pressing Home and End on a line of text such as:
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
Using a shorter string of text like "abcdef" produced the following
much shorter delays:
35
27
29
33
28
38
(I'm working on a 64bit amd-cpu 1.6Ghz laptop)
