.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
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,
|
|
.I timeout,
|
|
is the delay after the initial press of an auto-repeating key and the first
|
|
generated repeat event. The second,
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
|
|
.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
|
|
sends a request to the X server to configure the AutoRepeat control attributes
|
|
to the values specified in
|
|
.I timeout
|
|
and
|
|
.I interval.
|
|
|
|
.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
|
|
does not wait for a reply; it normally returns True. Specifying a zero value for
|
|
either
|
|
.I timeout
|
|
or
|
|
.I interval
|
|
causes the server to generate a BadValue protocol error. If a compatible version
|
|
of the Xkb extension is not available in the server,
|
|
.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
|
|
returns False.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
True
|
|
The
|
|
.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
|
|
function returns True normally.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
False
|
|
The
|
|
.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
|
|
function returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not
|
|
available in the server.
