If you use the IPAC in USB mode pluged into a USB
port it will keyrepeat in the menu instead of one
at a time.

: I think your assumption is right. But it also has to do in the way the frontend checks for keys being pressed. In my case I use an ipac in my cabinet and with earlier versions of my frontend when I used a keyup event to check for keys it had the same behavior you described with an ipac...after someone asked me about it I changed it recently to check if a key is down and this way it will just keep paging...
