Delayed auto shift, also called autorepeat, is how most falling-block games handle a held direction; the piece shifts once, waits, then shifts repeatedly while the key stays held.	`lead`	Wiki
Some games, especially early ones on home computers, take the repeat from the keyboard's autorepeat in the hardware or operating system instead of timing it themselves.	`lead`	Wiki
Some games with an entry delay let the player charge DAS by holding the direction during the delay, so the next piece starts moving as soon as it appears.	`lead`	Wiki
