.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
Auto-repeat is the generation of multiple key events by a keyboard when the user
|
|
|
|
|
presses a key and holds it down. Keyboard hardware and device-dependent X server
|
|
|
|
|
software often implement auto-repeat by generating multiple KeyPress events with
|
|
|
|
|
no intervening KeyRelease event. The standard behavior of the X server is to
|
|
|
|
|
generate a KeyRelease event for every KeyPress event. If the keyboard hardware
|
|
|
|
|
and device-dependent software of the X server implement auto-repeat by
|
|
|
|
|
generating multiple KeyPress events, the device-independent part of the X server
|
|
|
|
|
by default synthetically generates a KeyRelease event after each KeyPress event.
|
|
|
|
|
This provides predictable behavior for X clients, but does not allow those
|
|
|
|
|
clients to detect the fact that a key is auto-repeating.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Xkb allows clients to request
|
|
|
|
|
.I detectable auto-repeat.
|
|
|
|
|
If a client requests and the server supports DetectableAutoRepeat, Xkb generates
|
|
|
|
|
KeyRelease events only when the key is physically released. If
|
|
|
|
|
DetectableAutoRepeat is not supported or has not been requested, the server
|
|
|
|
|
synthesizes a KeyRelease event for each repeating KeyPress event it generates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DetectableAutoRepeat, unlike other controls, is not contained in the
|
|
|
|
|
XkbControlsRec structure, nor can it be enabled or disabled via the
|
|
|
|
|
EnabledControls control. Instead, query and set DetectableAutoRepeat using
|
|
|
|
|
.I XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.I XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DetectableAutoRepeat is a condition that applies to all keyboard devices for a
|
|
|
|
|
client's connection to a given X server; it cannot be selectively set for some
|
|
|
|
|
devices and not for others. For this reason, none of the Xkb library functions
|
|
|
|
|
involving DetectableAutoRepeat involve a device specifier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This request affects all keyboard activity for the requesting client only; other
|
|
|
|
|
clients still see the expected nondetectable auto-repeat behavior, unless they
|
|
|
|
|
have requested otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat
|
|
|
|
|
sends a request to the server to set DetectableAutoRepeat on for the current
|
|
|
|
|
client if
|
|
|
|
|
.I detectable
|
|
|
|
|
is True, and off if
|
|
|
|
|
.I detectable
|
|
|
|
|
is False; it then waits for a reply. If
|
|
|
|
|
.I supported_rtrn
|
|
|
|
|
is not NULL,
|
|
|
|
|
.I XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat
|
|
|
|
|
backfills
|
|
|
|
|
.I supported_rtrn
|
|
|
|
|
with True if the server supports DetectableAutoRepeat, and False if it does not.
|
|
|
|
|
.I XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat
|
|
|
|
|
returns the current state of DetectableAutoRepeat for the requesting client:
|
|
|
|
|
True if DetectableAutoRepeat is set, and False otherwise.
|
|
