Delayed Auto Shift or autorepeat refers to the behavior of most falling block puzzle games when the player holds the left or right key. The game will shift the falling piece sideways, wait, and then shift it repeatedly if the player continues to hold the key.

Some games read the keys as on-off switches and implement DAS in software. Others rely on the automatic repeat provided by the hardware or operating system, which the user often has the ability to configure. (In Windows 2000, this setting is Start > Settings > Control Panel > Keyboard > Speed > Character repeat.)
