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
