DESCRIPTION

       The server can generate XkbAccessXNotify events for some of the global keyboard  controls.
       The  detail  field describes what AccessX event just occurred and can be any of the values
       in Table 1.

                       Table 1 AccessXNotify Events
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       detail              Reason
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       XkbAXN_SKPress      A key  was  pressed  when  SlowKeys  was
                           enabled.
       XkbAXN_SKAccept     A key was accepted (held longer than the
                           SlowKeys delay).
       XkbAXN_SKRelease    An accepted SlowKeys key was released.
       XkbAXN_SKReject     A key was rejected (released before  the
                           SlowKeys delay expired).
       XkbAXN_BKAccept     A key was accepted by BounceKeys.
       XkbAXN_BKReject     A  key  was rejected (pressed before the
                           BounceKeys delay expired).
       XkbAXN_AXKWarning   AccessXKeys  is  about  to  turn  on/off
                           StickyKeys or BounceKeys.

       The  keycode  field  reports  the  keycode of the key for which the event occurred. If the
       action is related to SlowKeys, the  slowKeysDelay  field  contains  the  current  SlowKeys
       acceptance delay. If the action is related to BounceKeys, the debounceDelay field contains
       the current BounceKeys debounce delay.

       Selecting for AccessX Events

       To receive XkbAccessXNotify events under all possible conditions, use XkbSelectEvents  and
       pass XkbAccesXNotifyMask in both bits_to_change and values_for_bits.

       To  receive XkbStateNotify events only under certain conditions, use XkbSelectEventDetails
       using XkbAccessXNotify as the event_type and  specifying  the  desired  state  changes  in
       bits_to_change and values_for_bits using mask bits from Table 2.

       Some  users  may  accidentally "bounce" on a key when they release it. They press it once,
       then accidentally press it again after they release it. The BounceKeys control temporarily
       disables  a  key  after  it  has  been pressed, effectively "debouncing" the keyboard. The
       period of time the key is disabled after it is released is known as the BounceKeys  delay.
       BounceKeys is a boolean control.

       When  the  BounceKeys control is active, the server reports acceptance or rejection of any
       key to interested clients by sending an appropriate AccessXNotify event (see STRUCTURES).

       XkbGetBounceKeysDelay requests the attributes of the BounceKeys control from  the  server,
       waits  for  a  reply,  and  backfills  delay_rtrn  with  the  BounceKeys  delay attribute.
       XkbGetBounceKeysDelay returns True if successful; if  a  compatible  version  of  the  Xkb
       extension is not available in the server XkbGetSlowKeysDelay returns False.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The  XkbGetBounceKeysDelay  function  returns  True  when  it  successfully
                      requests the attributes of the BounceKeys control from  the  server,  waits
                      for a reply, and backfills delay_rtrn with the BounceKeys delay attribute.

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

STRUCTURES

       The structure for the XkbAccessXNotify event type is as follows:

       typedef struct {
           int            type;           /* Xkb extension base event code */
           unsigned long  serial;         /* X server serial number for event */
           Bool           send_event;     /* True => synthetically generated */
           Display *      display;        /* server connection where event generated */
           Time           time;           /* server time when event generated */
           int            xkb_type;       /* XkbAccessXNotify */
           int            device;         /* Xkb device ID, will not be XkbUseCoreKbd */
           int            detail;         /* XkbAXN_* */
           KeyCode        keycode;        /* key of event */
           int            slowKeysDelay;  /* current SlowKeys delay */
           int            debounceDelay;  /* current debounce delay */
       } XkbAccessXNotifyEvent;
