number delay
The amount of time before repeating the key (in seconds). 0 disables key repeat.

Hold key to continue moving left or right

Please note that a generally better way to move an object would be to put code in love.update() which uses love.keyboard.isDown. This is just an example.

function love.load()
	x = 400
	love.keyboard.setKeyRepeat(0.01, 0.2)
end

function love.keypressed(key)
	if key == "left" then x = x - 20
	elseif key == "right" then x = x + 20
	end
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.circle("fill", x,300, 30,30)
end
