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

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
