XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3)   XKB FUNCTIONS   XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3)



NAME
       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate   -   Sets   the  attributes  of  the
       RepeatKeys control for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbSetAutoRepeatRate ( display, device_spec, timeout,
       interval )
             Display * display ;
             unsigned int  device_spec ;
             unsigned int  timeout ;
             unsigned int  interval ;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
              connection to X server

       - device_spec
              device to configure, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - timeout
              initial delay, ms

       - interval
              delay between repeats, ms

DESCRIPTION
       The  core protocol allows only control over whether or not
       the entire keyboard or individual keys should  auto-repeat
       when  held  down.  RepeatKeys  is  a  boolean control that
       extends this capability by adding control over  the  delay
       until  a  key  begins  to  repeat and the rate at which it
       repeats. RepeatKeys is coupled with the  core  auto-repeat
       control:  when RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the core
       auto-repeat is enabled or disabled and vice versa.

       Auto-repeating keys are controlled by two attributes.  The
       first, timeout, is the delay after the initial press of an
       auto-repeating key and the first generated  repeat  event.
       The  second, interval, is the delay between all subsequent
       generated repeat events. As  with  all  boolean  controls,
       configuring  the attributes that determine how the control
       operates does not automatically enable the  control  as  a
       whole.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  sends  a  request to the X server to
       configure the AutoRepeat control attributes to the  values
       specified in timeout and interval.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  does  not  wait for a reply; it nor-
       mally returns True. Specifying a  zero  value  for  either
       timeout  or  interval causes the server to generate a Bad-
       Value protocol error. If a compatible version of  the  Xkb
       extension  is  not  available in the server, XkbSetAutoRe-
       peatRate returns False.

RETURN VALUES
       True           The XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  function  returns
                      True normally.

       False          The  XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  function returns
                      False if a compatible version  of  the  Xkb
                      extension is not available in the server.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadValue       An argument is out of range
