XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3)
NAME
XkbSetAutoRepeatRate - Sets the attributes of the RepeatKeys control for
a keyboard device
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbSetAutoRepeatRate (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 normally returns True.
Specifying a zero value for either timeout or interval causes the server
to generate a BadValue protocol error. If a compatible version of the Xkb
extension is not available in the server, XkbSetAutoRepeatRate 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
