Improve RDP experience

Fix repeating keys

If you have unstable ping, you can encounter repeating key issue.

It occurs when <key up> event is delayed long enough to trigger key repeat in your system

You can workaround this by increasing the delay

For X11 use this works:

#           delay rate
xset r rate 1000  250

For Sway, you can use something like this:

`~/.config/sway/config'

input <identifier> repeat_delay 1000
input <identifier> repeat_rate 250

In KDE you can change this in your system settings

In windows it's somewhere here

Tweak some RDP settings to improve latency

Set `color depth' lower - 32 / 16, instead of 256 for me 16 bpp even looks cleaner and should be faster
Set Quality - `Poor (fastest)'
Set Network connection type - `Low performance broadband'

KDE specific

Alt-Tabbing can be a bit slow sometimes.

It's much better with disabled `Show selected window' option in Task Switcher
