Pressing and holding a keyboard key

When I bought the Mini Pro, one of the things I thought it'd be good for was emulation, using the hardware keyboard instead of an on-screen keyboard..

Unfortunately, there's a bit of an issue with that - when you keep a key pressed, it doesn't repeat; it types the blue character instead.

For example, if you press and hold 'p', you get '@'. Admittedly that's quite useful if you're writing, but I want to get 'ppppppppppppppppppp', so that it sends constant instructions to a game.

Does anyone know of a way of getting the keyboard to work in a normal manner?
